1993 Escort 1.6i LX: Do I need to replace starter motor or spar kplugs?

Try hitting the starter a few taps of a hammer, Not too hard or you might crack the casing. If that helps go for the WD40 , spay into starter (if possible), where it joins the engine.

I have the same damned problem. It takes 15 tries before the car will fire up. I looked at all of the starting system components, and I agree that a new starter is needed. The bendix simply isnt holding the starter spindle out long enough to allow it to turn the flywheel long enough for the car to start. From what I have read on these forums, though, you don't need a mechanic....you need fire insurance!
