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.

Could need a new starter motor
It could be the starter, or something broken internally in the engine that is preventing the engine from making a complete revolution. My son bought one vehicle and the owner said that the engine was making a knocking noise the last time he drove it. The seller forgot to mention that it make one hell of a bang when it quit running. That was fine, my son did not want the engine since it was a little 6 banger. We pulled the engine and the cam shaft was broke, one piston exploded and went through the oil pan, and some lifters were in the oil pan. Obviously it would not turn over a complete revolution if we had tried to start it.
- 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?
- 2003 ford focus won't start or turn over? I recently bought this car and it started and ran fine. Now it won't turn over it sounds like it's clicking. What does this mean?
- Reasons my car won't start turn over? Is there anyway my ford 150 van might have been screwed with in a bad neighborhood, i had all the doors locked and windows up and hood locked from inside, is there a way to crawl underneath the van and reach into the under carriage to cut or remove something that would cause the ignition not to turn over or did the alternator just happen to bust
