if clicking but not starting dead battery if it starts it's one of the many relays that open and close during startup
The first and easiest answer is to remove the wheel covers and listen again for the clicking noise. It could be a pebble loose inside a wheel cover or a tire valve stem clicking against the wheel cover. If it's not that easy, and your truck has CV joints, I would suspect a bad CV joint. Look for a torn CV boot.
Absolutely not. The starter gear must fully disengage the flywheel gears when you release the starter. Otherwise when the engine starts the starter will continue to be turned by the engine.
If your car makes a clicking sound when you try to start it, try to jump the battery. If that starts it, check the electrical system and if it was the battery, replace the battery. If jumping it does not fix it, have a mechanic look at it.
THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT. REPLACE IT AND IT SHOULD CURE THE PROBLEM.
there is a clicking noise when I start engine starts no problem just curious of the clicking noist
Oil pressure shouldn't register at all until the engine starts and builds up pressure.
My 2003 Chevrolet Suburban 280 hp engine is making metal clicking sounds when I accelerate. It gets worse the faster I go. The battery went dead and had to be jumped two days ago. The car starts fine but then it makes this clicking sound when I put it in drive and go. It happens in park also. What is this?
I am an shs student and have no idea please help me do my assignment before school starts
No its not from the fan motor, its from a stepper motor, which controls air flow to the drivers side footwell. The linkage for the motor breaks, and causes the clicking noise. There is a updated linkage peice that can be installed.
My Yukon had the same problem. At first i thought it was the lifter, but i replaced those and it still kept clicking. I was looking into my engine one day and noticed there was a high heat bolt missing from a hole in my exhaust manifold. I replaced it with another high heat bolt and it stopped making the clicking noise. If you dont replace the bolt, the noise should stop after your engine gets hot and the metal starts to expand. Hope this helps!
It could be your battery. Try honking your horn and hold it down...see if it sounds strong the whole time, or if it starts strong and then starts to fade out. It could also be the starter. The battery is easier to fix, especially if you have AAA. Good luck!
Inspect the rubber boot that covers the joint. If it is torn, and there is dirt and grit up inside, your cv joint is about to fail. You'll know it is failing when it starts clicking. It will click each time the wheel turns. The clicking gets worse as you turn the wheel. The clicking gets worse and louder and turns into a 'thunk' right before it self destructs.
Its just there to let you know that the engine is running at a normal temperature and isn't overheating. If your engine starts to overheat, you can tell then do something about it. Pull over and check, let it cool before proceeding to a garage, before it is too late and the engine is destroyed.

the engine will turn over a few times before starting, if it starts, and it will feel sluggish
The correct answer is dependent on the model engine. But in general the spark starts several degrees before the piston arrives at Top Dead Centre.
