y 2001 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2L has a rapid clicking and the intake manifold backfires when trying to start. Had starter tested and cleaned all connections, at a total loss. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Megan; The 'clicking' noise....is it electrical or mechanical? I'm assuming that the engine 'turns' over, but runs bad, if at all? If it's a rapid snapping noise, could be a 'cross fire' which could cause the backfire. Need more specific symptoms... In the dark, have someone crank over the engine. Look for 'sparks' around the plugs and wires. Loren SW Washington
