Title: Car won't start
Post by Nicke on Apr 23^rd, 2006, 3:03pm

I have a 2,0 16v -95 auto that won't start.
The engine is craking but nothing happens.
Led on dachboard sends 1:6 so i guess it is a problem with PATS. Have anyone any idea of what I shoud do?
???

Hi just a suggestion before you go down the ford road.

For these cars, it is a must that the battery is in tip top condition otherwise a typical sympton of this is what you have decribed, it would be well worth pursueing this aveune first and good luck.
