Gilles · 07-19-2014, 08:32 PM

After replacing the front engine mount I was not able to start the car (first time in seven years..) and it has a very strong raw fuel smell.

Could be possible that I disconnected something while replacing the front engine mount, like a water temperature sensor?? Is this sensor in this area?

Or possible the crank position sensor decided to go bad?

Prior to this, I got a check engine light but I am not sure if it's related or not, your comments are always appreciated, thank you.

PS: my car is an '07 CS with 70k
