Imobiliser fault when driving

Post by Chris-p » Thu Nov 11, 2021 3:10 pm

Hi everyone, randomly had the
Orange immobiliser light flash when driving today, happened a few times and when it did, the rev counter dropped to zero and the engine cut out. Started fine but same happened several times.
Any suggestions where to start fault finding?
Thanks
Chris

Sounds like the dizzy to me.

Had that some years ago. Eventually it wouldn't even start. Incidentally, the tacho gets its pulse from --- the distributor!
