Timing belt? That doesn't sound good. I see that you have a 1995 Elantra. The problem with those years were that if the timing belt was not promptly changed around 55k-60k miles, it could snap. Hope thats not the case, because then it can do some serious engine damage. How many miles on your Elantra? I would think its the starter, because a friend of mine had the same clicking problem with his Tercel and it was the starter that needed replacement.

Oh well, we shall see what the mechanic says!
