Yes.. Will the car not start? Or is it just a stored code?

i doubt its the immoboliser... Check your crank sensor hasnt come lose, also check the connector on the coilpack.

I had similar problems when I had an engine change, was fucking about with different ecu's had 3 in end, and developed new fault first thing electriam said to me was sometimes they can loose the code through no aparant reason, that wasn't my problem anyway so don't know how true it was, i would phone one up and see what he says, will only cost £40 to re=programme if it needs doing.

Try running a wire from the earth point on the ecu, to the earth on the battery. I saw this on the allcorsaforum, seemed to work for a few who had changed engines, and had this sort of problem. Worth a shot, anyway.
