blown 4.6l motor?
i bought a 95 tbird monday and it ran fine...it had a tick that went away and an engine code P0102 for the MAF...almost made it home and it died...got it to start at wot but it would knock real bad and it back fired...when it backfired the entire plastic air cleaner blew up into pieces...tried to start it today with a new air cleaner and used maf...same problem and only starts at wot and needs gas to stay alive at 1-2 rpms knocking bad...felt like the starter jammed so i cranked the engine by hand and it is getting hung up...it will almost make a full rev but it jams up and i hear it hit metal on the pside...i dont understand how it could have run so well...first i thought it was electrical but now it feels like a rod or valve...what should be the first thing i should do?

maybe jumped time and now you have valve hitting a piston. or connecting rod came undone and when rotating it by hand till the cranks hits the rod. to check a rod put a screwdriver in each plug hole have some move crank by hand right and left, if you get to one and ot only moves one direction thats the one. id pull valve cover as well and check for a valve maybe dropped
