I just checked the clicking and it is coming from the throttle body area. And I have replaced the coils already so I wouldn't think that is the problem. As far as the squeal goes, I have to wait for someone to come crank it so I can listen.

 

I checked for codes, however, all I get is a constantly flashing light. Does that mean that there are no codes?

 

Yep, that means there are no codes stored. Interesting about the clicking. Do you have TRAC? Your TPS is the sensor closest to the inlet plenum and if you have trac, there is another sub throttle sensor inline with the TPS, directly in front

 

I wonder if the click is the sub throttle slamming open or closed. PUll your inlet ducting off and see that the sub throttle is wide open. Than turn your key to the acc position or whenever you hear this click and run up there to see if it has changed position.

 

Yes I do have TRAC. And I am about to start testing all of the sensors. One more thing I forgot to mention earlier. I sprayed some starter fluid in the intake earlier and it ran for a few seconds, but was still running pretty rough.

 

Have you checked your IAC valve.

 

Where did you introduce the starter fluid?

 

I think I am leaning more towards the fuel system. Now with the fuel pump jumpered, you can hear fuel circulating in the engine bay?

 

Pulled the air filter, sprayed some, put the air filter back in, and started it.

 

Ughhh. Our MAFS are pretty sensitive. IF you don't have a code, should be ok still. So you introduced a combustible substance into the intake and it started. If it wont start without it, than fuel is not getting to the cylinders. When was the last time your fuel filter was changed?

 

And just to be clear, before it sat in the driveway for a week it was running fine??

 

Dunno. Hah. Just got the car about a month ago. I'm going to change that tomorrow though. But the TRAC butterfly is not moving with the click. But it is definitely coming from that area.

 

Yes it was running perfectly fine.

 

I wonder if nasties in the tank settled out and are now clogging the fuel filter. I would change that before moving on to anything else. Pretty messy. Do you have a set of feeler gauges

 

No I don't. But I'll definitely start with the fuel filter. But should I be hearing constant fuel in the engine bay when the ignition is only at the "ON" position?
