i assume this escort has a fender-mounted solenoid, and that you are actually bypassing the solenoid with your jumper wire... replace the solenoid!

AnswerI've had a similar problem, I could turn my key but it would not start. So we ran a hot lead to the solenoid from the battery, put a push button into the circuit and when I turned the key to the on position and pushed the button it starts. My original problem was the ignition switch was bad. Also my solenoid was on my starter not on the firewall. hope this might help Answereither bad switch or solenoid. less likely is bad wires
