Default Loud clicking

Hey, something in the right side rear of the car makes a loud click when the engine is cold...then it goes away as the car warms up...could it be the fuel pump?? There are no other problems...what do you guys think??

If it is what I think it is, its just normal operation of the EVAP purge valve. Nothing to worry about.

Thats probably your starter motor complaining. Its one of the tell tale signs of it being on its way out, change it asap.
