Default 2001 Focus 1.6 not starting

would a faulty speed sensor stop the car from starting? The speedo needle has been dropping to zero on occasions but this afternoon it wouldn't start at all, cheers

Just a guess but I can't see that it would.
Do the usual check for fuel and spark first.

Been told to disconnect the central timing processor unit behind the glove box, leave it for 1/2 hour & retry so will give this a go later & see what happens

it appears to be the fuel pump, is there much work in changing one of these?
