Ford Escort Ford Escort ZX2 is a hot-looking compact coupe with a rakish design. Yet its handsome interior reveals a roomy back seat and surprisingly large trunk. ZX2 provides responsive handling and good road manners and its engine delivers decent power. At the same time, the ZX2 is a practical car, with plenty of room in the back seats for friends.

Default same problem diff car

I have a 98 zx2 standard and for the past few weeks I have had a problem with getting the car started. Sometimes it will start right up, others it will click/turn over once and be completely dead. Up until this weekend I have been able to disconnect the battery then reconnect it and it would start. Now not even that is working for me. I have seen many posts that are the same or similar on this site and was hoping that somebody could tell me what helped them or how they fixed their problem.

Some of the things I've noticed:
- I have to turn the ac to off when I turn the car off or it would be dead when I would try to start it again.
- I had the alternator and battery replaced under a year ago. All of the cables are grounded and tightened.
