Sounds like the starter is going out. That click is probably the solenoid moving when you turn the key. Next time it does it, hit the starter with a wrench and see if it starts up after that.

Also, is the security light on?

yeah everything is tight and the vats is suppose to be disabled by pcmforless but the light seems to be how it always is... ya sometimes it clicks once for three times then it starts right up..

does it when the car is hot or cold
