Did you put a new rotor and cap on? New coil? Hope you can get it started. Maybe a new starter? Battery?

Also there is a module at the base of the distributor can also cause this. So much to test and hard to diagnose with out being there.

2000 ford escort wont crank? I've put a New battery in the car and everything works except it wont crank the engine not even a click from starter relay???
