Default Clicking Sound

Every time I start my 99 Ranger Sport with a 3.0l engine it makes a clicking sound that seems to be coming from the engine bay, any ideas on what that could be?

AC pump fast cycling? It will help if you look under the hood and get a little more descriptive than "clicking sound from engine bay"

It's not coming from the a/c, It only clicks 3 to 4 times and only when i'm starting the engine. I think it may be the starter but I was hoping someone could confirm that and maybe tell me why it's doing it.

Almost impossible to diagnose this over the internet. Could be any number of things
