is there something wrong with the whip?? i put my car on a lift to change my rims, i lower it back down, put the key in and try to turn thr car on but it made a rapid clicking/tapping sound and all the lights in gauge cluster where twitching on and off. 5 mins later i tuned that car back ok...was a success but it idle really high like 1500 rpm and it sounded louder like it was accelerating...turned the car right off...wait another 5 mins...this time the car started up normally and idle b/w 800-900
was there something wrong with car?
i jus bought tr55 spark plugs for my 1998 z28, would that fix the problem, car has almost 65,000 miles on it also

First thing I'd check is the battery connections/battery. When mine did the rapid clicking, along with a couple gauge sweeps it wouldn't start at all after a few tries - 2 year old battery was load tested and failed.
your biggest problem is you calling your car a "whip".
i think when these cars barely start cause of a dead batt they rev kinda high for about a minute or so to try to recharge the battery.
