if they are saying your computer bad then check battery for condition including load test first. autoparts do for free. If there is a code you should have told us or at least given the code so we can do a better job. but it could be either

The code given was po601 and I had first got a code for under voltage so I put a new battery in and then a new light switch because my fog lights would not work.. then the clicking noise started after all this..

check this as it may be what this tip is saying like a cracked spark plug they will sound like a click. also have the charging system checked it may be low on voltage. it could also be the fan belt and tensioner . Other than that I have no further suggestions.
