Clicking as in 1 or 2 clicks Everytime you crank it? Started is very common problem when " clicking" is involved.

If it's simply clicking and not cranking, I'm almost certain it's your starter. Have someone crank the car while someone else smacks the starter with a metal stick like object and watch it start up
