Click at spark plug? As '88 said, remove the plug wire, CAREFULLY check it for holes or cracks (even a tiny pin hole can allow arcing).

 

And then check if the plug itself is tight. If the boot is OK, I bet you'll find the plug is loose!

Bingo. A few months ago I walked past a neighbors truck when he was finishing an oil change. When he started it, I listened then asked him to shut it off. Then I told him his #3 plug was loose, but better check them all. He was totally baffled by my ablility to figure that out in seconds. All I did was listen and wiggle a few things... :shrug:

 

Replace all of them if they need it...
