My engine light came on. I check my oil and was a quart low. So I added a quart. Well today car started acting funny it felt like it did not want to accelerate. Then I drove it to the store it did not want to start. Now I hear a ticking noise on the left hand side under the hood. What can I do?

Are the head lights dim etc, like the battery is low or dead?

Is it cranking over and not starting or no crank no start? Also, with the key in the run position is your security light on?
