did you use sealer around the coolant passages on the intake?

did you have the heads checked and cut if needed?

where is the click sound? under hood like the starter solonoid?

did it run before you worked on it?

are all the hoses tight?

battery charged?

clean tight terminals?

double triple check wire harness for everything plugged in correctly?

alarm? is it turned off?

why was it sitting? only cause of the headgaskets?

If it clicks, it's not the alarm.

The ABS light will remain on until the vehicle achieves 5-10 MPH.

SRS light is on because the battery is dead.

Did you replace the battery or did you merely charge a seven year-old battery that sat that long?

The battery is brand new, the vehicle sat because the head gasket went out on my father and he didnt have the time to get it fixed. The engine would turn over before but wouldnt start due to loss of pressure. The click is coming from transmission area if you can help please do. Thanks

The click your hearing is likely the starter as it mounts up by the tranny bell housing. Check your connections if they look good pull the starter and have it tested.

Coolant leak is likely a bad seal of the manifold to the heads. If the surface wasn't clean and free of left over gasket/sealents etc it will leak.

Is this a single "click", or rapid "clicking"?
Have you tried resetting the inertia switch on the firewall in the engine bay?
It could be there's a ground that is loose.

Also, if its leaking coolant and you haven't even been able to start it I'm guessing you'll have some bigger issues. Did you use sealant in the corners of the intake manifold?

its a single click the lights from the tranny just shut off when that happens. I also didnt use selant so im going to go buy some and put on the gasket properly. I dont know how to reset h the inertia switch.:dunno:
