The starter relay may be sticking on start. Get someone to start truck and when problem starts hit relay lightly wih hammer. A cheap voltmeter will tell you if relay is sticking or still energised from ingnition switch after key release from start position.

2002 ford F 350 super duty v 10 gas engine, wont start. Cranks but wont turn over?

Your description is a bit misleading. Is the starter spinning or is it just making a clunking sound when the key is turned to the start position? If the starter is spinning and the engine isn't, you have a bad starter drive or there are teeth missing on the flywheel (or flex plate if you have an automatic transmission).

I HAVE A 2001 FORD EXPEDITION 4.6 DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING WENT TO POST OFFICE NOW IT WONT TURN OVER STARTER AND BATTERY ARE GOOD

if the engine is turning but not starting, fuel pump or possibly the fuel filter is clogged. if you have no turning the engine over with a no start, more than likely its a fuel delivery or your coil packs are not puting anything to the plugs. coil module, coil packs themselves, or fuel filter. beyond that you would need to take to mechanic.

My 2001 ford expedition will not turn over but all the other electronics on it still works. I tested the starter and it will turn over manually but the engine still wont start

Turn over manually? Is this jumping the starter with a wire or screwdriver to crank the engine or turning the engine with a wrench?

I recently changed my battery on my 2001 expedition and now I have starting problems and I don't know what to do...it very random but today I would assume it's the temperature...any suggestions

Could still be a number of things. If the jump works, first order would be to get the system checked. That would eliminate a couple of possibilities of alternator, battery, and wiring. It allows all the items listed to be tested under a non-load and loaded condition.

If those are good then start leaning towards the starting system. Starter/starter solenoid, ignition switch on column.

Never hurts to have a battery charger around or one of the new starter amps that are available.

2001 expedition 5.4l. wont crank

get a multimeter and test battery output, if more than 13v when you turn key to crank position if below then battery may be faulty and not holding charge, check starter relay and fuse, if ok also check for any parasitic draw from any accesary that might draw down battery when engine not running

2001 Ford Focus stopped running while i was driving and wont start. Makes a churning sound but no power is going to engine. I changed the ignition coil, still wont turn on. Any suggestions?

Can you explain more so I can help. What do you mean still wont turn on, engines doesn't start or starter motor doesn't turn. Have u taken out a spark plug and connected it to the cable put the end of the spark plug to a ground and make someone turn on the engine for a few seconds you should see some blue sparks. Carefully use gloves. If no sparks, spark plug is bad next thing to check instead of putting the spark plug in the cable put Philips screwdirver put the screwdriver near a ground not touching about one inch make someone turn the engine for a couple of second you should see the spark jumping from the screwdriver to the ground, If there are no sparks ignition coil or spark plug cables are not good. But u say u changed ignition coil so maybe your cables are not good. There is a connector near the ignition coil disconnect it and turn ignition switch on measure the voltage you should have in between 12vdc + or - .5 vdc if no voltage present there is a blown fuse, Check for it

Won't start, starter will spin but will not engage fly wheel to crank up engine

Sounds like the starter drive is shot, best thing to do is replace starter with new or rebuild.
