Car won't turn on / ESP Malfunction
Last night the car suddenly gave off a ESP Malfunction and a check engine light. Nothing seem to happen as it was driving fine still.
After I turn off the car, the ESP light went away. My girlfriend been using the car, and after 2-3 turn off, the check engine light went away so I didn't get a chance to read the code.
Just now, my girlfriend pulled over for the police to pass, and the car wouldn't go and it turn off on her. Now it won't turn on, not sure.
Any rough ideas? It's about 52000 miles and i've done regular oil changes and the transmission flush. I haven't change the spark plugs yet.
Thanks
Edit/Update: My brother got there and told her to turn on the car and it turned on (struggled for a quick second). How likely is it that the battery is dying? A check engine light came back on, I'll grab the code when she comes home. The battery is about 2-3 years old from Wal-Mart.

ah sorry about that. now it's fixed.
from what i've been searching on the forums, i've been getting mixed signals on how easy/hard it is. it's either really quick or 1 hour or 4 hours.

The cps for the m112/113 is at the back of the engine between firewall and the engine. If anything m272/273 should be in the same spot. You gotta take the airbox off and reach down. Exact location i do not know.

I'm going to call around tomorrow to see how much is it to just replace it. I already bought the CPS. If it's $100+ i'll go buy the tools (extension and what not) since it's hard to reach.
Or i'll just try the putting it on ramps and going under method. Both the DIY are just a shot in the dark and you'll just have feel around.
