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.
