When I try to crank there is a clicking sound. I have replaced the battery and alternator and the massive air flow sensor but still hear a clicking sound when I turn the key.

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response. It sounds like you have a bad connection with one of your battery cables. This sounds like the starter is having problems or the battery needs to be load tested. these guides can help us fix it:
