Look at the positive cable. Is it corroded. Corrosion will also go into the cable under the rubber coating several inches. Clean it or replace it if it is real bad. Also clean the negative side and check the grounds from the battery. Three main ground wires are, battery engine, battery to body, and engine to body.

Will it crank over when it won't start? When It dies check for spark at the sparkplugs if none change the ignition module.

i had a simular problem myself...... it turned out to be a bad battery connection, hence it kept sparking and ran flat within days. make sure the terminals are good and tight!!

The sound coming from the rear of the vehicle could be a rear fuel pump that has gone bad. It might also be possible that you have a shut off switch for your rear fuel pump. It can be reset (usually found in the wall of the trunk just behind the beauty cover on the left. If this is not the problem see if you can have a friend help spray a small amount of starter fluid into the intake on top of the motor . Usually part of this intake has to be dissasembled so you will need someone with some repair experience. If the motor starts briefly then you know that you are not getting fuel to ignition. At that point you can check to see if your fuel pumps are working. Also if you are really lucky you could simply have a blown fuse that is tied into your fuel pump. Check this also. You never know. Good Luck
SOURCE: 1995 ford f150 makes single loud click when trying to start
Does it make the loud click just once, or will it continue to click when you turn the key?
If it is just once, then there is still a bad connection someplace for the main power. If it continues to click every time you turn the key to "start", then it is probably the starter solenoid itself that is bad. There are two big terminals (bolts) on the solenoid, and if you connect a 12V test light or meter across them, you should see power there. If the light doesn't go out (or very dim) when you turn the ign. to 'start', then the solenoid is bad. If the light goes out and the starter doesn't turn, then there is something wrong with the starter. I suspect the solenoid also because it works better with a strong charge on the battery.
SOURCE: 2005 Dodge Stratus ? Camshaft Position Sensor causing problems (I
I had the same problem with my '05 Stratus SXT 2.4 DOHC. I've replaced the cam pos sensor and it seems to be running fine right now. On the Dodge forums a lot of the guys say that you need to replace the crank pos sensor too. I've bought one of those just in case it comes back again. Hope this helps.
