Title: Engine not turning
Post by Matt63 on Dec 30^th, 2010, 10:54am

Good morning all. My red S reg facelift cosworth, having been parked in a garage for a few weeks, will not even turn the engine despite appearing to have an adequate battery (the central locking still works and the mileage trip has not reset). The key turns but nothing happens. Any one got any quick tips to try before I call the AA? Thanks Matt.

Do any of the lights or needles on dash work? Scorps can blow the control fuse for no apperent reason, takes the pats with it. Its in the main fb

try moving the gear selector? might not be sitting right in P, try it in N too

is it flashing any codes on the PATS light on top of the dash?

Hi, there were lights on the dashboard and I had tried moving the gear selection lever and got the warning noise when I was not in park. However, when I went to check for any PATS lights just now it started first time! Am a bit puzzled to say the least but at least I can start the car now! Thanks again for the suggestions.
