I think someone has misled you. Even if you were able to get it to work by tapping it, you can be sure the problem is going to come back. You need to have that starter tested if you think it is the problem.

Could be a shaft can you smell smoke under the hood if it's the clutch you could smell it burning

Why did you replace fuel pump? Did you buy a dealer pump or cheap aftermarket unit? Just because it is new does not mean it is good. Have you run pressure test?

Check the cabling and the relay, if the bulbs are ok.

run the fault codes and check for faulty MAP/MAF/VAF sensors

Mr. RAGSDALE. I do not know if you did strip the belt yet or not. If you did not,I will advise you a just easy and good way to do it yourself. String for the stripping,you just remove the outside belts and pulleys,remove the plastic covers of the timing belt. Just put on the crankshaft the pulley bolt and slowly slowly turn the engine until you see all the marks aligned. On the Camshafts the two sprockets do have the letters "E" and "I", E= Exhaust and I= Inlet.means that the inner to dashboard side is the inlet cam and to the vehicle front the exhaust cam. These two cams with the letters must be aligned,with the crankshaft sprocket having on the side a small groove which mus be aligned with a small point ball behind the sprocket on the cylinder block. There are your marks. Loose the tensioner and remove the belt. Good Luck!

Engine Number Either on the rear top nearside or on the front nearside of the block. On V6 engines the number can be found on the rear nearside of the block.

ma be the selinoid they seem to all go at the same time

Sounds like the belt, you're right on track. Check the belt(s) and replace if neccesary. If belts are fine, check for tightness. Should be about a 1/4" flexibility when you push down on them. If all is ok, belt dressing should take care of the problem.
Now, if for some reason, one of the components that run off the belts may be going bad, specifically a/c compressor. If it's starting to lock up, it will make your belt squeal and finally snap.

What is you fluid level? When was transmission last serviced? What year modle and milage?

clutch plate worn causing slipping no increase in speed or transmission fluid low or transmission fluid old contaminated, transmission need fluid and filter change.could have fault in the kick down solenoid or over drive cancel solenoid.have transmission shop code scan look for faulty shift solenoids or speed sensor fault code,lock up solenoid got a lot of parts any one of them cause no over drive.

the a/c pulls it power from the engie, so the engine need to be in good operating condition. it may need a tune-up to maintain its rpm level.

Check for vacuum leaks, cracked or broken hoses. Clean the throttle body and idle control ports with oxygen sensor safe carb cleaner. Last of all and most important is to get the idle control valve motor tested, it may not be responding quick enough to the sudden change in engine speed to keep it idleing. Also popping the clutch while in your highest gear will not damage anything, at least it never did for me. Don't do it in the lower gears at high speed, it will over rev the engine and that will cause engine damage.

Yes to both.
