Default Starter sparking something else is clicking

When I crank the 99 XJ I have it's Sparks from the starter and while it is turning over it sounds like something is clicking I thought maybe flywheel flexplate whatever it is was hitting the CPS so I changed it and the sound still there flexplate bolts look good but it could be cracked and I just can't see it all so Jeep doesn't crank every time and it sounds like **** while it's running any ideas

Sparks like electrical sparks or metal on metal contact sparks?
