In my experience if the car will not start and it is a rapid clicking sound when turning the ignition it indicates a dead battery. You'll need to get a jump and wait a few minutes before trying to turn the car on again. If the battery is really dead it will take up to 10 minutes to recharge. Each time you try to turn the car on while it is being recharged it will lose the charge it has obtained and you will have to start over in time for recharging it. If you think your battery should not be dead when it is, you may want to get your alternator checked by taking it into any auto parts store as this will drain your battery prematurely.

What causes a whistling noise in a 1992 Honda Civic that goes away only when the clutch pedal is engaged?
A throwout bearing can make a whistling sound- really more of a chirp than a whistle. Unfortunately, it sounds like you are in for a new clutch assy.
2001 Dodge Intrepid wont start. When I turn the ignition it make a noise in the engine and all the lights start blinking in the dashboard. Same thing happens when I turn on the headlights.?

Could be a plugged catalytic converter.
Why do I hear a clicking noise when turning the key in the ignition then on the 3rd try the car does start?
The clicking noise you can hear is the starter solenoid clicking into place. If the starter motor does not turn the engine immediately, it is probably the best place to look. it sounds like the starter motor is faulty.
