When I start my car in the morning, I hear a constant clicking sound comming from the engine compartment. If I let it run for a minute or so then shut the car off and restart it the noise goes away. What is causing this noise I keep hearing. Please help!

Thanx hmac300. Did just what what you said and the noise went away. Now all I gotta do is replace the belt and tensioner and were good as new :-)
