When I try starting the car, it makes a fast ticking noise....the batery is good cause everything turns on with it but when I ignite, it ticks. Is it the starter?

THat is the starter my friend but why dont u try to jump start the car and see if this helps. That most likely sounds like a bad battery to me. As you are hearing the starter still is trying to go but doesn't have enough power to kick its gear into the flywheel.

It could be the starter, but first try putting a better charge on the battery...It may have plenty of juice to bring up the lights and radio, but not nearly enough to turn the starter over.

*While you're jumping the battery, take a good look at the cable connections. Loose or corroded clamps can lose the amps you need to crank the starter.

The clicking is the starter relay, and the hard clunk is the solenoid throwing the starter gear in place...but 2 common problems can stop the process at that point; A weak battery, and a bad starter.
