repaired car . ran fine . except one day it wouldnt start . but the tail gate was open . closed it and guess wot .. it ran fine .. ?? :o
anyway . finnished car yesterday drove it out of garage , went back a couple of hours later . wont start ,, i left the key in the ignition while it was parked .

Can you check that sign is it eac or more likely ECA which in ford terms means ECU (ECA electronic control Assembly)

Sounds a bit immobilizer related; have you tried another key? (EAC? Electronic Anti-theft Control unit).

You were right. "Depressed"; currently bottom of page 3.
Same car; same eng; same year; same front ender; same fault! Thought it rang a bell!
Daz; are you Depressed?
