92 Escorts are known for having a bad ignition switch. When trying to start the starter won't quit after you release the key from start to run position. Replace the ignition switch.
Generally the problem is either a defective neutral safety switch or a bad ignition switch (not ignition key lock).
Check the neutral safety switch,it is located on the transmission or on the steering column ,under the dash.
Could be,low battery, loose or dirty battery connections, starter is bad, starter solenoid is bad, neutral safety switch bad or out of adjustment, starter relay is bad,
Possibly a neutral lockout switch, possibly a bad connection, possibly an ignition switch.
ignition switch...baterry cables...starter...ALARM????
Your neutral safety switch-try putting car in neutral and trying it
You want to bypass the ignition system and jump the solenoid to see if the starter engages. I f it does, it is not the starter,if it doesn't, than it is the stater. You can also jump power straight from the batt to the pos cable of the starter to see if it engages.
neutral safety switch is messed up
Starter Ignition Neutral switch
Modern starters include: * the starter motor... a motor * the solenoid, which engages the electrical current to the starter AND engages the gear to the flywheel. * the bendix, which is a gear that engages the starter to the flywheel.

I know about the starter and ignition, but I click the ignition and then it clicks, then when I press and hold the starter it starts then immediatly stalls, I have tried it in neutral, in gear, with clutch, without clutch, with clutch and throttle.
When you turn the key all the way forward to start the vehicle, that not only turns your ignition system on, it also engages the starter and bendix drive. When you release the ignition switch, it returns to the position where the ignition is still hot, but the power to the side of the solenoid that engages the bendix drive is dead.
