ok heres the situation when my car ran it ran shitty and died on me while i was driving it the rpm would bounce around too. now i can get it to start for a second then it just dies could it be the pgm fi relay... i havent tested it yet but i wanted to see if anyone else had problems like this

oh and itll make a ticking noise sometimes when i put the key in the igintion...

 

Could be a bent wheel rim. if you hit a pothole, anything is possible, depending on how hard you hit the pothole.

Take tire and wheel to a tire shop. they have a maching that can spot the problem, pronto
