I have a 1997 Dodge Caravan that won't start it has a tick tick sound. The interior lights do come on. I don't drive the car every day. I tried to jump start it but that did nothing. I decided to see if I could find anything onthe internet. Any ideas anyone? Thanks to everyone! Was running before I replaced the plugs, wires, and coil. And I also replaced the crankshaft position sensor. It turns over, but will not start. What left is there to do? I'm at A standstill.
It sounds like the crank shaft sensor is hitting when you spin it over. It is probably in too far. There is a piece of card board stuck to the end of most of them to set it correctly. If it is not the the magnet will pull it to the metal reluctor. Pull it out and see if the end is rubbing. Then take a piece of card board from the box the sensor came in, put a dab of grease on the end of the sensor eg: magnet and put it back in, when it spins over the card board will be rubbed of. That should give you enough clearence for the magnetic sensor to work and not rub eg: the ticking noise.
