    I'd start with an oil and trans fluid change. Check your fluid levels. Then put in 93 gas. Oil filter, fuel filter...start with the easy stuff

      Manual or Auto? I had a problem that sounds kinda like yours before and it was the torque converter, my car was stuttering on gear shifts and on take off. But start with zpwn06's stuff - so much little stuff could cause problems.

        i dunno about the griding noise but the other symptoms sounds like maybe a misfire...check your wires/plugs/coils

          check your alternator while you're at it too. And battery.

            dont put in 93 gas unless you have alot of engine mods. you dont have a high enough compression ratio to need it

              did you have your a/c or defrost on. your a/c compressor could be shot. it could not be turning right. which would make your belt not move correct and will mess with your idel. that could also cause a grinding nose in your bay. something that you don't want to happen. cause that means that the clutch in the compressor went. which is putting debree into your system.

                I always put 93 in my car which is stock other than the exhaust.. I've said this many many times so here goes again. with 93 octane in my 02 my throttle body is much much much cleaner than my 98 which has been run on like 89 octane. The mile differences are about 10,000. The 98 was driven like a grandma and I've taken the 02 to the track. I'm convinced. And a couple bucks more for a fill up is fine by me to take care of the engine.

                Besides that.. on the lines of what kristen said.. my girlfriends water pump was going bad and coincidently when she told me to take a look at it not more than 5 seconds after starting it up the whole serpentine belt froze besides the crank pulley.

                Maybe you could take off your serpentine belt and see if there's a pulley that doesn't like to move or makes noise.

                              Here's a piece of advice. Take it to a pro. There has been everything from a TC mentioned, to a tune up, to ac compressor, alternator, oil and fluids (Wait HTF could fluids cause a grinding noise). If you have the ses light coming on get it read and tell us the code. You can't diagnose a car over the internet.
                              Let's flip a coin. Heads I get tail, Tails I get head.
