There are some possibilities which you will have to check in this case:--
1) First of all check the power and voltage to the battery. With meter it will show exact 12 volt if the battery is charged. If the voltage is less get the battery charged at local auto repair shop. If the battery is internally drained and not getting charged then its time to replace the battery.
2) When you crank the car do you see spark coming at the spark plug? If no then its time to check the spark plugs and coil pack. If the spark plugs are not worn out and looks new then its time to check coil pack. The spark plug gets power to spark from coil pack.
3) The other thing to check in this case is the starter solenoid of the car. If the battery is charged and you start the car then it gives power to the starter to start the car. But if starter is faulty or not connected properly then car will not start.
4) The other thing to check in this case is fuel in the car. If there is fuel in the car then check the blockages in the fuel pump if the fuel pump looks proper then check the fuel filter above the fuel pump.
5) If all the above possibilities mentioned above checked out OK/perfect then it’s a electrical issue and the wiring's in the car needs to be checked. The car gets power from the battery to get started. so the wires from battery needs to be checked one by one.

Hi! The gasket of the fuel float may be worn thats why you can smell fuel from the compartment. Try replacing it and it will resolve it. Hope this helps and have a good one!

Replace your plugs, wires, cap and rotor, and fuel filter and go from there; probably low fuel pressure. Get your fuel and air filter replaced, could be the fuel injector(s), fuel pump... I doubt it's your plugs if you get a tune up every 3k miles.

Make any scan to know if you have fault codes there and tell us news.

If you had it checked out the Mechanic should have hooked up a OBD II scanner to receive the Trouble Diagnostic Codes to it. The codes will reveal why your Check Engine light is on and how to fix it. You can go to your local Autozone store and they can read your codes for free and let you know what the problem is. The Traction light being on is all related to the Trouble Code you have. Once you fix the problem both lights will turn off.

heres a diagram of sensor locations, not to clear.there are two knock sensors on this car there are also two engines that come in the q45, but the sensors are in the same place, they are located one below the leftside of the intake manifold and the other sensor is below the rightside of the intake manifold. hope this helps.

Your problem doesn't make sense to me , but I can almost guarantee you that replacing your injectors won't cure it. I am sitting here trying to figure out how fuel could be getting into your oil and not coming up with an answer. A blown intake manifold gasket , or head gasket would do it , but would cause other very noticeable problems

take it to a local mechanic ,he should be able to put the light out for you and advise what the other lights are for

the red wire you have it maybe some one had a amp in the car and took it out.stop by a radio shack and show the the wire and see what they say.

You could probably go to the closest hardware store and buy the right size bolt for a 1$, and unless the hub has been damaged in some major way, you should be fine.

remove the intake manifold ,remove radiator ,remove radiator intake and outake housing, remove fan ,remove all belts: power steering, alternator and if you have a/c, remove harmonic balancer ,remove timing belt covers, remove timing belt remove intake housinng once you have remove all the above, your freaken engine will look naked, you can see the location of the knock sensor is locate in the engine valley
