I warmed up my car this morning and it turned off by itself and it won't start properly. It's not the battery because I just brought a new one and the lights green and I checked the oils and it seemed fine. I need my car right away.

Hi,

When you try starting it, does it do anything? For example, does it start and then stall? Does it crank and never even try to start? I ask because there are a few things that can cause this issue. However, they are usually associated with either a fuel or ignition related issue.

Please understand, we don't have this model in the US, but I think it is the same as our Ford Escape. Please provide the engine size so I can check and see it is the same.

Next, if it is possible, record what it is doing and upload it for me to hear.

Until I hear back from you, take a look through this link and see if there is anything that is helpful. It discusses the most common causes for a crank no start condition.

Let me know.
