03 Ford Escort ZX2 won't turn over?

For the last week or so it was taking an extra second to turn over and would occasionally die when put in revers. Today it died, started again, sat for 6 hours, started then died five miles down the road. All the dash lights come on and it sounds like it wants to start but it doesn't turn over. The alternator and the battery were replaced last year.

Added (1). It has half a tank of gas and it didn't sound like the fuel pump was priming.

Has it got any fuel in it? Can you hear the fuel pump prime up when you first turn the key on?

Hi so here we have a now 13 year old car. Have i got that right. So as cars over 10 years old especially need lots of tender loving care and lots of spare parts. As over time things wear out so now you have replaced the usual suspects now it starts to really get expensive. So yes when you do things your self and know your car it becomes easy to save money. So this might now be when it gets complex. The starter motor wok be the next place to look along with other items intros chain starter motor solenoid. And ignition switch. These might prove a bit more difficult to diagnose without knowledge hence the expense with a auto electrician or a mechanic.

  • Ford Taurus won't turn over? I just got my 1994 Ford Taurus back from the transmission shop yesterday from getting the torque converter replaced. Yesterday it was fine. I drove to a friend's house from the shop and then home. Shutting it off and starting it twice in between. This morning I went out to it, turned the key, and nothing. The starter didn't even try to turn over. All instrumentation still works fine. Before I back it up and dig into it, any ideas what it could be? A blown fuse or anything like that?
  • 2001 Ford Ranger clicks once then won't turn over, and when key is turned off, it begins making a clicking relay noise under the dash? - 1 I've had this happen before, and the last couple times I just undid the battery and put it back in and it started right up. The battery has a charge, the alternator is new, and I tried jumping the battery just in case. So I know it's not that. I'm thinking it could be something in the ignition switch because sometimes I have to lift up on the shifter knob for it to register that it's in park and turn over. Any ideas?
  • Ford Festiva 1985 won't completely turn over? I just turned 15 and for my first car I got a Ford Festiva. Problem is it won't turn over all the way. It hasn't ran in about 4 years or so. My friends and I attempted at jump starting it and it wouldn't turn over. It just makes the noise as if it is trying to. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry not an '85 but an '88
