[Edit]

Starter solenoid defective.

Answer

if you have replaced your siloniode and you still have the same problem just trun the key on ON then take a screwdriver and touch the two terminals togather quikly and it should work great after.

Starter solenoid hooked up reversed or poor ground, low battery or corroded connections @ battery

Another Answer

It has been my experience that a faulty solenoid or relay will only click once when you try to start the vehicle. A rapid clicking noise would indicate a low battery, poor ground, or corroded connections as stated above.
