I had a 98 Cavalier a few years ago that did the same thing. I had it for almost two years when the thing started making a weird sound inside the engine and soon lost some power. It sounded like there was a steady clunking noise in the engine after the second day. Mechanic said there was internal damage that they couldn't fix. I would get the clicking sound checked out just to be sure.

I also had a new 93 cavy that made that clicking noise. Everyone swore there was something wrong with it back then because of it.
