I would check the timing (sounds like the car is pinging) first put some premium gas in it if that doesn't work then check the timing! What I did on my car was power time it, while someone is holding the brake real tight rev up the eng to about 2000 RPM then slowly turn the distributer till you hear the pinging then turn it back slightly till it stops and you will have the total amount of timing you can run! If you use regular gas the car will not peform good from a stop on acceleration! These cars have to run on premium gas if you have the 5.0 HO engine (Mustang GT Engine) they put this eng. in all Mark vii's 1988 and up! If this doesn't work then you have another problem???????
if clicking but not starting dead battery if it starts it's one of the many relays that open and close during startup

The first and easiest answer is to remove the wheel covers and listen again for the clicking noise. It could be a pebble loose inside a wheel cover or a tire valve stem clicking against the wheel cover. If it's not that easy, and your truck has CV joints, I would suspect a bad CV joint. Look for a torn CV boot.

You could have a slipping clutch which is not transmitting the drive correctly.

My 2003 Chevrolet Suburban 280 hp engine is making metal clicking sounds when I accelerate. It gets worse the faster I go. The battery went dead and had to be jumped two days ago. The car starts fine but then it makes this clicking sound when I put it in drive and go. It happens in park also. What is this?

It could have something to do with your oxygen/air flow sensor
nice
Yes. But it can be fixed for $50 to $200
Check that your Catalytic converter is not blocking the airflow.
