Default acting weird

okay i have a 98 trans am a4 and earlier today when i started my car it turned over like 4 times then i stopped and started it again and it started right up but it has done that twice today. also it seems like it is idling low sometimes around 600rpms but then most of the time it idles at like 7 or 800rpms. and one more thing i have noticed a ticking noise and im not sure if it is an exhaust leak but im just trying to give you guys some information. all i have done to my car is slp lid dynomouth exhaust and ory pipe and have had these mods for about 4 months with no problems this just happend today.

sometimes she doesn't like the humidity. my camaro was born in pennsylvania, and sometimes when I take her south to the more humid floridian areas, she does the same thing. wouldn't worry about it too much.


-- also I had an incident where it would turn over multiple times after having drained my battery too low with a power inverter hooked up for my laptop. had to get a jump from my g/f's TA cause it wouldn't start. no problem though, just standard operating procedure.

hope this helps
