Take a piece of rubber hose and use it as a s***hoscope to find where the ticking is coming from.

EDIT: LOL, looks like maxima.org thinks that "S t e t hoscope is profanity.

It didn't stop.

I reset the computer and the ticking stopped, but we're back to square one - car still won't start.

Since you've done all the cranking without it firing, is it possible you fouled out the plugs?

DUDE!

The f*****g thing fired right up!

I just went back downstairs sorta bummed and the computer screen was right on Kevlo's second pic and after staring at it for a few seconds I realized how much of a dumb@ss I was (had the plug (and thus red and black) flipped around).

Coolant leak but whatever...

Huge thanks to everyone that helped out.

The sound without the y-pipe is incredibly loud, surprised the hell outta my neighboors.

glad all is working now, it always seem to be something small and overlooked.
