It starts if you touch solenoid with screwdriver. We just don't know what else to do. Could it be a lose connection or something? About 2 outta 10 times it starts fine. HELP PLEASE!

Small wire to the starter solenoid probably has a bad connection that can be fixed either by tightening the retaining nut or replacing the connector. There is also the possibility of an intermittent solenoid as well this is not uncommon with today,s rebuilt starters.

Small wire to the Starter is the end of the problem, Check the other end called the ignition switch. This is a culprit on all cars when they don't start and being a 91 the switch just falls apart. It goes through the motions but it won't send the juice. Get a manual that shows the wiring diagram. then find that wire to the starter find it on the ignition switch.....put 12V to it at the switch and see if it cranks. If so it is the switch. Check for pinched wires also. Ballast resistors went out in the 50's.....OK 70's. still a long time ago. If we are to assist these people read the entire question. it says it won't CRANK....

you've some sturdy solutions already yet understand the ford solenoid is positioned on the left fender nicely below the hood. if you're taping the starter and it worked that tell me you both opt to rebuild the starter or replace it. I easily have Fords and that i had that similar situation and it replaced into the comb's. If it replaced into the a Bendix positioned on the precise of the starter which engages with the fly nicely is undesirable it is going to maximum in all danger make a clanking noises even as attempting to commence or it is going to have interaction and launch. the proper wager is get rid of the starter and take it to an automobile aspects save and performance it examined on their device loose then pass from there.

I would put my money on a defective ignition switch. Even though it is working part of the time, it may be arc damaged inside on the start contact (which is supposed to only engage when the key is turned to the "Start" position). You could have a bad connection on your solenoid wire somewhere in the system as well. On one this old, I'm betting on the ignition switch.

Check your fuel lines. It sounds like a fuel or starter problem u most likley are getting a spark but no juice check the pump and the lines and the regulator.
