Clicking Noise - Underneath and under hood!

My '03 S-Type (80000 Mi.) is making a steady and fast clicking noise when at a complete stop, probably while in motion too. I have yet to change timing belts, but this sounds like it's more underneath the car than anything else. Anyone have a similar issue, and if so, what steps did you take?

It's most likely the Purge Solenoid. Search for it and you'll see that it's a popular thing with our cars.

So I checked for the valve under old discussions, sounds like you were right, thanks a lot. Takin' it in this week for the brakes anyway, so I'll see about hooking that up.

It's a little black box on the driverside right in front of the windshield. If that's whats clicking then its the purge.
