When i turn key to start car i sometimes get a clicking ive had a new starter motor got new battery any ideas

It could be a loose or corroded connection somewhere in the wiring. Make sure your hot and ground cables are tight on the battery. Then make sure your connection at the starter is solid. Make sure there is no corrosion on the cables or connections too. If this all checks good, the replacement starter could be faulty. I've had many replacement parts be bad right out of the box.

Had to replace a blown engine on a 2005 ford escape xls

Check battery cables for corrosion and good connection.
Try to boost it with jump starter.
Try to tap on starter while attempt to start.
To me sounds like a bad starter.

On my 1998 Toyota Corolla, after it starts and runs fine..you turn the key off and it will not start again without a jump. After a quick jump it starts right away. The battery is only a year old. Is it the...

Check for loose battery terminals. Car will not start without jump because battery is not connected properly. Starter is probably good or car would not start with or without jump. If alternator is bad and not producing current, car would die after running a short while as battery would out of juice and without alternator current the car would die - so probably alternator is good. If connections are all good, get a voltmeter and test the battery voltage - it should be over 12.75 volts. If not, battery is not holding charge.

Have a 96 Corolla- won't start- just one click- have replace battery and cable connections are good. am thinking it's the starter cell gone bad...is this correct?

Most likely. If you are sure all connections are good at the new battery and alternator then it is either a bad starter or a bad fuel pump relay. To check the relay get under the back end of the car and have someone turn on the key, if you hear a
"humming" noise, then I would replace the starter.

Free engine diagram ?

It is really easy to find your starter.  Find the positive cable on your battery, it should be red, and follow it until it stops.  That will be the starter.  To help youself out go to http://www.autozone.com/autozone/catalog/parts/partsShelf.jsp?categoryDisplayName=External+Engine&fromType=parts&fromString=search&parentId=cat10010&currentPage=1&filterByKeyWord=starter&isSearchByPartNumber=false&navValue=15300045&categoryNValue=15399999&fromWhere=&itemId=prod10625&displayName=Starter&searchText=starter and you can see a picture of what you are looking for.  Hope this helps.
