One day about two weeks ago I was in my car warming it up. Before I could even put it in drive it shut off and would not restart.
I replaced the ignition coil ignition module and charged the battery because it ended up dying.
When I try to start it the choke light does not come on but just flickers with each rotation of the engine and I hear something under the dash clicking. I am hoping it is something easy, but I thank you in advance.

It sounds like the choke stove is shorting out. Remove the choke wire and see if the noise stops.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
