The clicking sound you hear is your starter. Just because it is working doesn't mean it is working at the proper rate for it to turn the engine over. If it is a fuel issue, try spraying 2+2 into the throttle body when the engine is off. Move the butteryfly on the throttlebody open and closed while spraying a good amount in. Than put your intake pipe/tubing back on and try starting it again. IF it starts and then shuts down shortly after it is a fuel issue. Other than that it would have to be brought to a shop and be diagnosed as a no-start.

Alternator man.. test the battery. Its free at autozone or advance autoparts. But def sounds like an alternator prob..
If it was battery it prob wouldnt have started to begin with. The alternator is draining the battery so dont go buy another battery, It'll just die again. |

if the starter cranks strong and doesnt start, then its not the starter, but also not the battery because alot of power from batter, so no alternator issues. Its probably a fuel problem, or bad injector signal, someone could of put sugar in your gas tank? head gasket could of blew and flooded some cylinders

Have you checked for spark yet?? Stick a screwdriver in the end of a plug and ground it. Have someone turn it over and see if the plug wires are firing. You need to get a good charge first though. Jump the car off and leave the cables connected while you do this.

A lot of people misunderstand how the battery actually functions. You can have a car battery put out 12.4v not running and they think it is good. If your battery does not have enough amperage available it will not start the engine. If extremely low it will not even turn the starter. I would take the battery to an AutoZone or the such and have them use their battery tester on it. They usually test them by their CCA rating (cold cranking amperage). If it is lower than specified than you will need to charge the battery which is something they can do for you. This is just basic checks but can be misunderstood by many.

If you take it to a shop they can perform many diagnostic tests for one hours worth of labor time. I say go for it since your time in limited.
1) Battery output test 2) Alternator output test 3) Starting system test ...just to name a few.

did you check to see if you have spark at the plug...if you dont have spark pull of the distributor cap then the two wires on top of the coil . put a test light between these two wires and crank the motor over..if the test light lights up it is the coil if not it is the ignitor

if the ignitor is bad youll still have spark at the plugs most times but the problem is that its weak thus brown spark, and its intermittant, take all spark plugs out of the engine put them in the wires and make sure that the plugs are touching ground on the engine and roll it over. watch the plugs and put your hands over the spark plug holes and you should feel a burst of air at the same time as the spark , if somethings messed the spark will fire at the wrong time or not at all. or it will skip a cylinder here and there. if that happend take the cap of the distributor and look at the ignitor, it will prolly be all white and cracked.
