Yeah, I know my 2000 Celica had an oil pick-up screen in the bottom of the pan, fed into the pump, then through the engine. If that screen is clogged and you're not getting oil pressure, that could be your problem. Or the outlets are clogged. But you're making a HUGE mistake by driving it with an oil light on. With the noises you're hearing, I'm sure you've already done permanent damage to the engine. Hopefully someone can steer you in the right direction on this. If I remember right, the oil pan comes off pretty easy to check out the pick-up screen.
