The clicking is normal.. just the relay opening and closing. The wipers randomly stopping and starting is a bad wiper motor. I know this because my 93 just had this problem. A new wiper motor cost $50 and made a huge difference. My wipers were very slow and then they started acting up like yours. Changing the motor is a PITA though good luck.

If it were a delay problem then the wipers would still work on low and high. So it is NOT a delay module issue but a wiper motor issue.
