I have a 2002 Explorer,4.0 with about 110,000 miles. I went to start it yesterday morning and was greeted with a loud, high speed clicking sound. Never had this sound before. I went to try to restart and only got a clunk. Checked cables, cleaned them and retried starting. Still just the clunk. I had to leave so took ole lady's car. Came back later and decided to try jumping it. Still just the clunking sound when I tried starting. But after several attempts it turned over and started. Now I had the fast and loud clicking sound. It speeds up and slows down with the throttle. Could this be starter or flexplate related? It was a sudden and was no build up of this sound so hoping not timing chain related. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
