Check for a problem battery. bad connections on the battery posts and terminals. have a load test done on the battery. Check the earth wires on the battery to engine .

SOURCE: Clicking Noise when trying to start vehicle

check your key remote if it is not programmed the alarm will go into the kill switch mode and will not allow you to start your engine Having the same trouble with one of my keys I haven't found a way to reprogram it without calling dealer and paying a chunk.

It is your battery it may not be completly dead but it is too dead to run the starter. It take 300 -600 amp to run a starter and 20 amp to run a stereo

It sounds like your starter needs cleaned or replaced. The poping noise could be the actuator not engaging right. As for the engine light, it could be just a coincidence.

Have a problem with my A/C. was leaking not holding proper charge. When that happens the Eoconomy light comes on and can't turn it off until system is prpoerly charged. Is their a reset on this system to turn that off once the proplem is corrected?

SOURCE: 89 vette, 48k, car starts

Sounds like ignition control module (small plastic piece in bottom of distributor). When it gets warm it's shorting out. Easy fix, disconnect battery, pull cap & rotor - gin module is 2 screws in bottom of distributor and 4 wires - replace wires in exact order and coat bottom of middle with dielectric grease, replace rotor, cap & connect battery NEGATIVE CABLE LAST!

The battery is dead or not connected tight enough. Bring the battery to an auto parts store, and have it tested, it sounds like it's dead or VERY weak, that's what those signs and symptoms are telling me.

Sounds like a dead battery. However, I will tell you that these vehicles are very sensitive to voltage. Try cleaning the battery cables and tightening them properly.

1992 vette wont start for about 20 minutes

I have seen this alot on the 90 ish vettes and it is going to be something to do with the security. When you have time I would just take it to the dealership so they can scan it and find out which part is bad and loosing memory.
