Tried to start my car but seemed like the battery was a bit flat... DIDNT START.. now the malfunction indicator light' comes on.. which is a problem with the EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM... what exactly cause this??
I belive it must be the sensors for the fuel injection or a charging problem??

I can JUMPSTART the car with jumper leads and can drive it quite fine, 'the MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT stays on.. and once stopped it wont start again

HOW DO I FIX IT??
WHAT CAUSES IT??

any help would be fantastic!!

disconnect battery and charge it fully out of the car and then try again in the morning.

connect the battery with ignition off. let it sit connected with ignition off for 10 mins and then try to start it. Computer will reset and it should be all good. if not read your Owners Manual

If it doesn't have esp or anything silly you should be fine removing battery.
