Hi,

I have a ford cougar 2001. It's recently had problems starting and now refuses to start. Is there a way to check the diagnostics on the car? I know on the ford probe I had previously, it was possible to use a paperclip and LED to read the error codes. Is there anything simliar on the ford cougar?

There is a built in DTC Code checker, but it's not great - much better to get a cheap OBDII reader. Plenty of info on how to get to the built in DTC checker in the forum
