Default car doesnt start

Went to start my car the other day and the starter just clicks. another thing is when i turn the key on the tach and speedo shoot up about 3/4 the way and go back down. i checked the connections on the starter and other places. I checked the battery and thats good just seems like a connnection is slightly loose somewhere or the starter possibly bad?

You sure the battery is good? I'd have it load tested just to be sure. The gauge sweep can happen with low voltage, especially on the '99 cars.
