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

What year is your car, do you still have the FOB?

The orange light with a key in it

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!

Yeah, so i swapped back to the original old dizzy cap and arm, cleaned the contacts on the cps and no issues in half hour drive, will try again tomorrow, fingers crossed that was it,
