Just had a cat converter replaced yesterday. Drove her back home, everything was fine. Took her to work, all was good. Had a really slowwww startup when leaving from the parking lot at work, however she turned over fine. Drove her to my mom's to pick up my son, now car not starting at all. Not turning over period. Also hearing loud clicking noises. Don't know if it's an electrical issue or something else, but everything inside the car is on. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
