Battery is also flat now, icing on the cake... Thankfully it is parked next to a mustang garage so hopefully they will take sympathy on the wannabe mustang probe and bring me some defibrillators xD

The plug has been cleaned and reseated. Still with engine warning light, still not starting

Mechanic is going to replace spark plugs, failing that it will be a new crank position sensor. Just want I need before Christmas.....

I take it these are fairly easy to replace? He is away from tomorrow so will leave my car outside the garage, need to get it sorted ASAP

when you say "Tried fumbling around with the CPS plug", did you actually take it apart (disconnect and reconnect ) ?????? No, I literally could not get it off as it was flapping around all over the place. Didn't want to risk damaging the cables there so i've told the mechanic to do it. Hopefully, h...

Then do that spark plug check if it does not start.

Looking from the front, the CPS plug is to the left of the engine, near the top, between the cam covers, it is normally a grey plug (someone might have a picture). Disconnect the plug, clean inside, and plug back together again and give it a go This seems like an easy solution, I just pray it works...

CPS plug??

What is one of them?? Had the AA out and they couldn't get it running. Guy said, it has spark, air and fuel. There is no reason that it shouldn't be running. Just refuses to start :/

Hey guys, Just done the oil change. Started her up, all good. Turned off, rechecked oil, all good.

Go to start her up again and engine warning light i...
