Ill tell you the whole story to help: 1300xflow out of mk escort

Driving perfectly well,

Then came to a stop at some traffic lights and it was trying to cut out! Had to keep the revs up to prevent it from stalling. Got it off the road to have a look, went to start it again and it wouldnt start (was turning over fine though)

Towed back to garage, when investigating figured it was an electrical problem because there was no spark so called the aa out! He said it was the electronic ignition module (little black box next to the distributor) has replaced it and we got a spark.

He proceeded to try and start it for about an hour but gave up blaming the cold weather!

I had look the next day, tried to start it and nothing! Realised the starter solinoid had gone (proberly due to the number of times he tried to start it). Replaced this.

Now went I go to start (with another car to "jump start" it, so plenty of power) it just chuggs over, it doesnt seem to turn over as it should, no speed there I dont think! Could the starter motor of gearing have gone?

Sorry for this lengthy post guys but it may just help!

Thanks

Colin

 

I would check starter gearing if that is ok check earth to the starter and engine earths make sure all conections are clean, if need be clean contacts with sand paper or equivilent give that ago and let me know how it goes or don't. Andy
