Wait, how about those shavings in the oil pan? How big, how many?
It sounds like you have something dragging in the engine, slowing it down enough to stall at times.

Metal shavins in an engine is always a bad thing IMO.

Do you mean he pushed it sideways, axial?
Axial crankshaft play should be within 0.10-0.35 mm.
Service limit = 0.45 mm.
Maybe those shavings are from worn thrust washers?

So my mechanic took a flat head screw driver and put a little pressure on the fly wheel (i think thats what i seen, i was frustrated that my car was dead -.-) and it freed up the motor.
