Hi Foxy

 

The only problem with bypassing the immobilizer, is if the car is nicked and the insurance checks it out and find its been tampered with the may not pay up a

theft claim !

 

The best thing is to find what the problem is, so why don't you ask on here and say what is or not happening, and give some sort of times it happens and what has the

"mechanic" done to fix it

Hi Foxy

 

Sounds like you are having problems !

 

But you still need to give some more info:

 

You say the glow plug light does not come on, in warm conditions you don't need the glow plugs (you only need them in very cold conditions), but from your comment

you say " the glow plug relay was disconnected) but you say you changed the relay, but you need to check the wiring, but as you say it starts and then cuts out, how long does it run for ?

 

You also mentioned about the immobilizer, if it was the this, the car would not even turn over, so its not that !

 

As I say you need to try a few things,

 

What is the battery voltage ?

is the car turning over ok ! (at the right speed)

Have you got fuel in the car ? if so is it getting through to the engine??

Have you got any one to give you a tow start?

 

Come back to us with some more answers and take it from there

hi radiotwo

 

The battery is new, she got just under 1/4 of a tank of fuel, she only runs when you spary engine start but as soon as you stop sparying the car will stop. and now ive noticed but when you try and turn her over the rev counter dont move where as before when she was starting it would move a bit then fire.

 

I hope that help cause i dnt know what to try next
