I'm not sure what to make of what's happening to my car:

-check engine light came on 2 days ago
-car is somewhat difficult to start, but runs nicely when warm
-today the secondary air pump made a strange "whirring" noise when it came on and when I turned the car off there was a lingering sound of air leaking
-the onboard computer (temp, mpg, mph avg.) has reset itself twice after I have turned off the car!

And, on top of this, I just had some minor work done last week: new plugs, new air filter, coolant flush, new brake light switch. I'm at a loss to know what these symptoms could mean. Does anyone have an idea what might be going on with my car (98 318ti, 72,000 mi.) Thanks much!

Battery connection. Check terminals.
