Oleg recently experienced a theft when someone stole the catalytic converter from his car. He went to his insurance company and talked to other auto shops about repair estimates, but was disappointed in what they told him. "The car is good and reliable, but old.

Here are some of the most common noises your car might make, along with the most likely causes for the problems: Clicking When Trying to Start the Car If you only hear clicking when you are trying to start the car—or if it does this while taking a long time to start—it's the clear sign of a problem. It may be a dead battery, failing alternator, failing spark plugs or an issue with the starter/ignition system itself.
