1997 Ford Escort

Apparently you already had work done to the starter or had it replaced... I would say have the alternator checked. If you can get the car to a Wal Mart or an Advanced Auto, they have the machines and will check it for you for free. See what that says. Basically, best thing to do is eliminate possibilities.

Its not the alternator, I know that much. That's been fully replaced somewhat recently too. I've had my share of electrical problems with it and know those very well. It's getting current from the battery, and trying to start. The problem is it's not getting spark (though the plugs don't look fouled) or it's not getting fuel. Worst part is, I decided to try it again 6 hours later, and the stupid thing started right up. Like my dad said, though, it doesn't mean it's fixed.
