So, my car has been down for a while fixing random stuff. One include fixing a capasitor in the ECU. Well, when i started it up everything worked just fine for two days and now i hear the dreaded clicking under my dash again. I've read that the ground from the battery could be the issue, but i just dont see how.
Is it my capasitor again or is something else causing this problem.
 
I had an experienced friend do it for me. The last time that it started to act up on me, i heard the notorious clicking, but also noticed the factory boost gauge trip out and bounce around. Its starting to do that again, but its not everytime i start the car.
I just need to figure it out because im done with school in a week and have to drive it home.
 
2x what 91 Turbo Mitsu said. Did you replace all the capacitors? If not that may be the culprit. It may also be the fuel pump relay.
 
No i did not replace all of them.. I will go ahead and do that, but after we replaced the first one it ran fine for 4 days, so im not sure. Thanks for the help
 
My fuel pump relay went crazy when my ecu started to fry, and it's a distinct clicking noise, once after you start the car and then once after the car is turned off. When my ecu crapped it was clicking 4 or 5 times before and after the car started!! It might be the problem but those dont usually go bad, or so i've heard!
