1997 Ford Taurus 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

After replacing battery and alternator less than year ago, the engine just bogs down when turning ignition. Could it be anything other than the starter?

If it was me I'll get both the battery and alternator load tested if okay -double check connections and also the starter side. If you do a voltage drop test on the cables-could be the starter overrunning clutch is slipping/dirty brushes
