I have the same car with the same clicking noise right after you start the engine. The noise stops shortly after starting. There was a recall from Chrysler for this problem. Contact your local dealer regarding this matter.
If the Chrysler is only making a clicking noise and will not start, check the starter. Also check the alternator, and the battery. The starter solenoid is more than likely the reason the car is clicking and not starting.
A clicking noise in the engine of a 91 Ranger could indicate a problem with the valves. A valve lifter in the engine may be worn or stuck.
It is more than likely that the clicking noise is just the sound of the fuel injectors intermitently squirting fuel into the cylinder. Yes, this is normal.
You need to replace the front axle Every 80,000 to 120,000 They wear out, normal maintance
The Battery is shot and you need to replace it.
Possibly the lifters?!?
Where is the clicking coming from? Within the engine compartment or inside the car?
If clicking while trying to start then might be a bad starter. If clicking while running, then might be valve/lifter noise.
clicking noise when trying to sart engine usually indicates a flat battery.if the battery is not the problem ,the starter motor needs repair.
try jumping the battery in the car or cleaning the cables
Could be a faulty relay!
You need to check your starter or your starter selenoid.
