Escort starting problem

Hi there



Can anyone throw a light on this. L reg 1800 EFI manual, will not start. If the car is pushed forewords (or backwards), a few inches (not in gear and ignition off......) the car will then start ?? The ABS sensors are the only thing related to moving the wheels only but after disconnecting the ABS the problem is still there. The alarm system shows no faults. HELP....

ok umm what year? u say wont start does it crank over? if not then starter problem. check battery cable ends / cleam em up. may be bad cables. if not turning over after that then starter may be at fault

ohh also i forgot is it a manual? if so the cluth interlock switch may be out of adjustment?
