The "clicking" is usually the starter solenoid chattering. This can be caused by:
Bad Starter Solenoid
Bad Starter
Weak battery not supplying enough current to engage starter.
Turn on the interior dome light. When you crank the engine, if the light dims slightly, the battery is probably OK. If it goes out, or blinks at the rate of the clicking noises, have the battery tested.
Have you tried jumping the car yet? What have you tried so far? I would get someone to jump it real quick. Theres other ways to see if battery is dead but a quick way is to get a jump then tell us what happens. Good luck-
when you say not clicking do you mean that it wont start? if so it could be your keyfob key. it has an immobilizer chip in it that will disable the car from actually starting when you try to crank it. it will sound like it is trying but it just wont start. id check the battery in the keyfob key for starters.
definately a short somewhere tracing will be tricky but here goes,is there a roof mount aerial above the dome light ? if so take dome light down and check for signs of water ingress ie corrosion on the bare metal parts etc,if no roof aerial move to the fuse box in engine compartment ,take the lid off which will have a list of the fuses/relays look for one's that go with the components acting up check them for corrosion ,will have to remove the fuse/relay to do this ,only take one out at a time so dont get any mixed up,then check the fuses inside car under dash drivers side particulary the window and wiper if nothing found get the OBD codes read and forward me the numbers , this might take you 10 minutes to sort or hours
was there a solution to this one? my 93 accord lx is having the same trouble except it wont start at all now. ive got gas and spark and will crank but not start. wont throw a trouble code either just get the flashing CEL and clicking from control box which stops when the egr purge connector is opened. does anyone know the sequece of the egr/evap system. seems like something is getting hung up there. thanks
