Default Help me out!!

Some one tell me if this is normal. When i give my car power it makes 2 "clicking" sounds and when i turn the power off it makes a rapid clicking sound. I cant figure out where the fist clicking sound comes from(Power On) but the rapid clicking sound(Power Off) is coming from the TB. Is this normal

Also a couple of weeks ago my spark plugs were changed and 3-4 days ago my CEL came on. I looked to see if i saw anything out of the normal and i saw my #3 spark plug wire was moving alot and a exhaust leak like noise was coming out of it. I took of the wire and i saw that the spark plug was loos. I figured that the idiot that chaned my plugs(me) didnt tightnd it. I want to know if the CEL will go away by itself.

Don't know about the clicking sounds...are you talking about when you turn the ignition on and off? See what the code is.
