Default Auto start problems?????

Hope everyone is doing well,

Jus a couple days ago i started my car to let the engine warm up, when i turned the car on i heard a clicking noise behind the dashboard, WHICH FREAKED ME OUT AT FIRST, but then it stopped, it happened the nextday i staarted the car and put the key in. Now last week it did it again but the clicking was really fast. Now today I cant auto start my car, had anyone ever had a problem wiht this, if so do you know wat it is, if not can anyone give me advise cuz it seems im stuck here. BTW no warranty on my car so recommending the dealership is out the question

I believe your diablo can get rid of it. Its in your option menu and it will say Trouble Codes go into that and hit clear all codes.

OK here is an idea, I dont know caused this issue for me at the time. BUT, pull the battery puse(assuming its like my GXP) Leav it loose try to start the car, SHOULD start. THen turn it off, plug fuse back in and get the code read/cleared. Just and idea.

Yes, CEL = no auto start. Clear it with the diablo and see what happens.
