Do you (or a buddy) have an OBD II reader by any chance. If so, plug it in and pull the fault code(s). It sounds like more than one problem to be honest with you. You may be looking at a failing starter and or a loose connection with the first problem and your lifters or rods may have issues for the second. You could also have a bad spark plug wire, or coil wire for the second. Any chance any water got under any spark plug wires? Did you wash the engine lately, or got through any deep water? Check all your wire connections. How's the oil level?
