1993 Ford Aerostar Won't Start - Ignition System

Question: My van will start right off when it is anywhere from about 40 degrees and up. But anywhere below that the engine won't even turn over. I can hear the fuel pump kick in to start, and everthing else seems to be in order. I have taken it to a trusted friend and certified mechanic and he could not find the problem. We have run as many compter tests and scans that we can think of, but there seems to be no cause. Is this a common problem? Is it a mechanical problem or electrical? And what is it?

Technican: 5-18-03. Hello, I'll try to help! Please state which engine you have, the cold cranking amp rating of your battery, and the age of the battery cables and the starter. Do you know the starter amp draw when the condition is present? Will the starter kick-in if one holds the key in the start position while another 'thumps' the side of the starter lightly with a hammer? Your turn,

Technican: Hello, I'm looking forward to helping you. Please let me hear from you soon.

Owner: The starter is was just installed. It was rebuilt from another 93 Aerostar. The battery is brand new and the cables are the originals. We have previously tried changing out the main computer and other relays to try to eliminate them from the equation but we have had no luck in doing this. I will try what you have suggested for tapping the starter with a hammer. I currently don't have the van here. It is in another town where my father lives. I'll would be more than happy to try your suggestion this weekend, but I don't think the weather will be getting down to 40 degrees or less anytime soon. So for the moment all is well. Thank you for your help. And I will hope to keep you posted with any new news, as I hope you will keep in touch with any suggestions. Thanks again, -Tim
