The dashboard warning light showing on this page (or one very similar, sometimes a slightly different shape or colour) has appeared on the dashboard and doesn't go off when the car is running.
The engine doesn't start up very easily and will often not start at all. When it is running it can cut out completely without warning.
The engine doesn't sound normal, it can sound like it's struggling to keep running or out of time. The engine note produced by the engine can also sound very different, it's often a deeper, more bass heavy sound that it is normally.
