HELP HURRY HURRY
ok so my alternator and smog pump went out and i just replaced them today...i started it up after i got alternator on and it ran then i installed smog pump and stuck the battery on charge sence it died...when to go start it and im getting a clicking noise coming from the carb i think its a fuel sensor or reglator cuz it wont start its like its not gettin any fuel...i can have the key on the on spot and the clicking will go for about a min.. i found the plug that is causing the noise its on the front of the carb like a blue plug sticking out with a black clip that goes into it...its the stock 4barrel carb...i have no clue what to do what to look for what it might be...i checked all the fuses they are good...i looked for hoses disconnected didnt see any...and all the wires look fine...dosnt make sense worked fine like an hour before...then it just stops...anybody got a clue what it is and how to fix it....

Are you sure the clicking isn't your starter? Thats what usually makes that noise when you try to start it and it wont fire over.

My car was making that clicking noise too. So I thought it was the starter, but instead I charged the battery and it started up. The computer in third gen's don't work to well if you have a dead battery. Try charging your battery.

The noise from the carb is the mixture control solenoid. It's perfectly normal.
