My VATS experience the engine will crank like mad but never start. Usually a click only with the a good battery indicates a bad starter or a bad main wire from the battery to the starter or the ground from the block to the chassis. The wire problem occurs a lot with the older cars with vibration of the engine and corrosion from the battery terminals breaking down the wires.

definately a not enough power to the starter problem. Try jumping the car... any luck? It clicks like that when it does not have enough power. That sound is the starter gear engaging then disengaging with the flywheel/flexplate because there is not enough current to it.
