Default car is back together after turbo upgrade, strange clicking sound

when I turn the car to the on position (but not far enough to start it) there is a constant clicking noise coming from the motor and the check engine light flashes on the dash. It is not the normal throttle body adaption sound. any ideas?

Check your grounds and t/body connectors.

I think the grounds are ok because the motor cranks, I'll take a further look at the t/body tomorrow
