I have an olds acheiva sc, v6, I have a starting problem, but it does not
happen all the time, just every now and then. When I go to turn the key
all I get is a click, click, click noise. This noise comes from the
passenget side firewall. There are 4 little box shaped things that are
about an inch or two each. This is where the click, click, click noise is
coming out of. Does anyone have any idea what it is? Thanks....

These are solenoids.  They usually control things like the air
conditioning or antilock brakes, for example.
Nothing to worry about.  They probably click when whatever component
they control was left on when you started the engine.
