the famous s2 starter problem
iv just fitted a new starter motor today and it got the same problem as i had with the last new one.
you all now the problem it's the one when you drive it for about 10 to 15 mins and the car doesn't want to turn over.(sluggish or not at all)
i have made a home made heat sheild and it not to bad if i do say so myself
but i still have the same problem after doing about 8 miles 
the problem cant happen this quick with 2 brand new starter what else could be the problem?
iv owned about 5 mk4 escorts and thay all end up having the same problem
please help as im losing this battle with somthing so simple

This is my reply from your last post.
I use the two ford head shields and this fixed my problems. I am also using an Escort RS starter.
The 1st raps round the starter to stop down pipe heat and the 2nd you clip onto the oil down pipe and stops heat from the manifold and turbo.

As abdr500 says, change the power wire from the battery and also the the one to the alternator, as this breaks down as well. Had this problem on my RST, years ago and changing the wires solved it.
