yup check the fusebox specifically the fuel pump fuse and the bank angle sense fuse. the clicking is the giveaway.

Sounds like fuel pump didn't prime and you continued to crank it hoping it would start. Clicking sound is coming from starter motor cuz the battery has insufficient charge to engage the bendix throw out thingy. Charge battery and make sure angle sensor is hooked up.

My two coins.
