Have you checked to be certain that the wires are still firmly connected?
I have a 1996 ford escort that will not start and it has a new starter on it and a new battery in it but it still will not start
Assuming it started before the starter was replaced, the starter and/or starter wiring are not installed correctly.
The starter drive (aka bendix) is broken. The bendix and/or starter needs to be replaced.
my Concorde wouldn't start and we took it in and had the starter replaced it was 420 dollar but the car runs now my Concorde wouldn't start and we took it in and had the starter replaced it was 420 dollar but the car runs now
The starter is grounding out internally. Replace the starter.
The problem may be with your starter and not with the clutch.
There could be several reasons why a 1997 Ford Escort will not start. A few reasons could be the starter, the battery, spark plugs and wires, or even a blown engine.
Sounds like you need a new starter!
Answerthat would be a bad starter the heat from the engine heats it up while it's on but if u let the car cool off a few minutes u can start it again have the starter replaced and you shouldn't have that problem anymore Look for loose/dirty battery terminals.
The battery, cables and starter may be bad.
The starter has failed and needs replaced. Somthing inside the starter makes connection when you tap it.
your battery is flat Could be that your starter is dead. The clicking is the starter solenoid. That's a good thing that it is at least clicking. Replace the starter.
