I went to go move my car into the garage, as I'm starting it up, I hear this squirly type noise when the ignition begins -- and then I see my car go from 1200 rpm, to 2000 rpm and then sink back down slowly...

So I turn the car off, my power locks don't work, my CD player reset itself and spewed my CD out, and I turned off my headlights -- but my headlights were still on! WTF!

So finally after a third try, everything was all right -- but it sounds like it may have something to do with the battery.
 
Make sure that your battery terminals are tight and check the three fuses/relays that are attached to the + terminal on the battery. Do you have a factory or aftermarket alarm? Make sure that it also is functioning properly or is hooked up right.

I found out what it was, wires connected to my battery (forget which sign) became loose and slipped out... grr... luckily I had a buddy help me out with that. :thumb:
