Hi The first thing to look for is battery efficiency,as this is a classic symptom of battery that is on the way out, these scorpios demand high efficieny, even though the engine turns over, good luck and keep us posted

Check the wiring between the Crankshaft Position Center and the main loom - it comes up the front of the engine past the coil pack and is prone to major deterioration - it's sleeved and you will need to pull back some of the sleeving to see the problem.

hi all
just to let you know it,s now fixed.thanks to this site. Pulled out fuse box battery side it had got some water in it, went round to my neighbours and used his airline to blow out any water drops in it then lathered it
in wd 40 blew the excess off and also cleaned the plug terminals reconnected everything and she started first time
GREAT SITE
