Change the air filter? Did you gap the spsrk plugs to proper settings? Check the plug wires to be sure they are in correct fironh order.

If not starting U have either a fuel delivery issue or a no spark situation. Open a fuel delivery joint by the engine and turn on the ignition. If fuel squirts out the pump is fine and the hassle is with the spark. Could be bad igniter causing either no spark or a weak one.

What your car is shouting at you is that there is a low power problem. This may be simply a battery cable or a corroded connection but the systems are not able to get the power they need. I would take the vehicle to a AutoZone (or competitor) as they have free diagnostics for the battery, alternator and etc. They can also read the codes in the OBC module. Dave

having the transmission rebuilt in 2010 means that the tranny is 7 years old since service so there can be any amount of faults run the fault codes to check for problem TCM, VSS, servos and solenoids check the vacuum actuator for the transmission and vacuum lines change the transmission oil the engine light also reports on transmission failures

the abs unit tells the ecu and the gearbox the speed and when to change gear if this is not working it could be one of these two the abs unit or the wheel sensor, the wheel sensor there are 4 of them in uk left front wheel is the speedo signal sensor, if abs system is dead i.e saying there is no faults or even connecting to a reader there is a fault. to determine the gear the gearbox needs the signal range sensor incorrect means there is a signal coming to the gear box but its erratic.

yes ---several one is called an ambient temp sensor that reports to the ECM as to the fuel setting required ( acts like the old pull choke button) next is a baro sensor that reports the density of the air --again to adjust fuel setting and lastly a mass air flow or mass air volume sensor that again reports to get the fuel setting right if your local mechanic is not using a scanner tool to have the fault codes read before he picks up spanners , take it to an accredited service center with experience on your make of car and ask for a code reading before work being done ( auto zone does the readings for free)

no they don't ---or rather they do and to do the job easily and quickly , the dash complete is removed --a reverse of assembly A dash can be removed in less that 1/2 hour and everything under the dash is easy to get at But if you cannot do it that way , try removing the heater motor and then the heater box from under the dash
