have a 1993 ford escort, 180k miles: when trying to start often would't turn over. have the coil pack and crank sensor replaced. that did help. but sometimes no spark, sometimes tries to spark and sometimes will start right up. when i get no contact can hear a clicking hoise, if i tap the brakes can hear a clicking noise, take the key out of the ignation and they restart and sometimes will start. inconsistent, not the battery

?? Can you clarify just what's NOT happening? Does this crank the engine all the time or not. The term "turn over" is confusing.

Ex: 1. It cranks but doesn't start.

2. It just makes a click or clicking and doesn't even turn or crank the engine.

These are two different problem area to approach,

re: 1993 escort
sometimes will crank and not start
sometimes will not crank
had the coil pack replaced and sensor replaced
most of the time will crank and start after replacing coil pack and sensor

thank you for any assistance

Something to try: Try starting with a good jump start from a running donor vehicle. If that helps a lot you should be checking out the battery and connections at both ends of cables,
