besides the big one involving my motor be rebuilt, i got a few issues with the cobra.

ok, so one problem i am having is when i go to start my car. When i turn the key (thats how you start my car... i know its rare) the engine will turn over, but it seems like only 2 or so cylinders are firing. so i either give it a bit of gas and then the engine will fire up fully, or i just turn it off and try again. sometimes when i turn it off and try again i get the same result or it will turn over fully.

another problem, well idk if its a problem, but when my car is idling and/or after i give it a little gas (while sitting still) my exhaust seems to be "ticking" right under the driver seat area. it will go up the rpms for a bit but i can't hear it after like 3k rpm due to the exhaust being to loud. it just makes these fast little ticking noises. its not a knock or anything (ive went up to the engine bay and listened and can't hear any knocking).. its just a ticking noise.

ummm what other problems. oh back to the engine not firing, sometimes it will not even fire up. it will ALMOST crank then die.. so just like scenario 1, but it wont fire up fully (starts combustion cycle it seems but dies after the first one)and then it will just die.. and yes im turning the key long enough. :santa_grin:
