If you have a broken rocker arm don't even drive it anymore til you get it fix.

That was my problem too. I drove it for 4 weeks with a broken rocker arm. I didn't know it was broken until last night and I stuck in a new one and the car is great now!

The cam shaft pushes the rocker arm and it pushes the valves open.
