Very possibly it could be the starter. Make sure your battery is at least 13 volts although a weak battery usually would not click the starter but just once. Check the connections at the starter. Have someone tap the starter with a heavy wrench or hammer while you turn the key. Follow the starter lead to the solenoid or relay.
