Sounds like the starter is going to heck on you. Read this http://popularmechanics.com/automotive/sub_care_sat/1999/6/clicking_starter/ and see if its what you need to know.

It sounds like the solenoid is still engaged. Possibly self-induction maybe? taking a wild guess. Check for burnt contacts.

Hey,
It sounds like one (or more) hydraulic valve lash adjustors (AKA lifters) is collapsed. Easy to check and fix yourself. They should be about $10-12 apiece. Good luck.
