Can you clarify just what's NOT happening? Does this crank the engine all the time or not. The term "turn over" is confusing. Ex: 1. It cranks but doesn't start. 2. It just makes a click or clicking and doesn't even turn or crank the engine. These are two different problem area to approach, T joshua New User Mar 13, 2008, 9:19 AM Post #3 of 4 (1239 views) Re: sparking Sign In re: 1993 escort sometimes will crank and not start sometimes will not crank had the coil pack replaced and sensor replaced most of the time will crank and start after replacing coil pack and sensor thank you for any assistance Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Mar 13, 2008, 9:24 AM Post #4 of 4 (1237 views) Re: sparking Sign In Something to try: Try starting with a good jump start from a running donor vehicle. If that helps a lot you should be checking out the battery and connections at both ends of cables, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
