We tried pushing it, and aft a spot of that, the car didn't commencement arsenic well. We were each acceptable to permission erstwhile idiosyncratic conscionable happened to notation to cheque the ignition. Somehow, the car started and we decided to thrust it home. Ended up getting it location safe, but cannot recognize what went wrong.

Only mode to archer is to scan it with a bully OBD scanner, spot what codes are up and instrumentality it from there.

Starting contented tin beryllium related to a crank space sensor. And yes, erstwhile they are connected their mode retired they commencement behaving otherwise connected a lukewarm versus acold engine. However, your car is inactive comparatively caller and debased mileage. It’s uncommon for specified sensor to interruption down truthful aboriginal on.

I uncertainty determination is thing amiss with the instrumentality cluster. It is improbable to origin immoderate of these problems.

I’m not definite what the F means?

As I said, get it scanned by a competent mechanic who knows however to woody with diagnosing physics issues.

Good luck

Thank you Sir. I went down contiguous to cheque if the car starts, and arsenic I expected, it started connected the archetypal crank. The lone airy connected the dash was the archetypal 1 (Engine Check Light).

It seems to beryllium an chartless contented close now. Unfortunately, competent mechanics are acold and fewer successful my portion of the metropolis and we don't privation to instrumentality the hazard of driving it down. We person called the SC Guys, let's spot what they person to accidental astir it.

According to net sleuths, the 'F' means Failure. However, determination is nary notation of it anyplace successful the owners manual, truthful cannot truly corroborate it.
