My 2007 pacifica will start up and sometimes idle for a second then dies. Unless im giving it gas. The traction control light comes on and so does the battery light.. it was sputtering when i drove it now it wont stay on at all. i also just filled up the car with gas and it has been sitting since and the gas gage is reading less than what it should be. when i first turn the key on the throttle body makes a clicking noise

try resetting security system first then scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge. auto parts rent it. if no manual look online for security reset

the battery light will come on because it isn't turning the alternator fast enough. have your battery checked for condition including load test. most places do for free
