Engine Warning Light

Hi,

After some advice re my sons Focus. Poor lad has had a terrible run of luck over the last year and now to top it all he has car problems!

He has an 02 focus. It was running rough so we replaced the ignition/coil pack and one of the connections was definitely dodgy, was corroded and burnt. I told him to replace the ht leads too but before he did the engine warning light came on and it start running like a bag of spanners!

So leads were replaced today, car started and runs ok but engine warning light is still on. My question is does this just need clearing by someone with a code reader? Or does it indicate a further problem?

Thanks for any advice in advance!

Cheers

A

    If say it needs clearing with a code reader. But whilst it's being cleared they would also see if it Was indicating more serious problems so it's worth seeing somebody with a code reader either way
