Based on your description, it sounds like a bad fuel pump relay. When it doesn't start, try using starting fluid to see if it will run for a couple seconds. If it does, then fuel isn't getting to the engine. The clicking you are hearing may be the relay engaging the fuel pump and allowing it to start.
