apparently my car has an imobaliser.
its a 1999 1.0l Corsa (B) GLS
the garage put me anew engine in it, but they say the imobalier is fucking with the engine. i am sure it doesnt have one. but they insist it has.
IS THIS TRUE???
cheers

the problem still hasnt been sorted.
everything we can think of has been looked at. the only think that we can think of is the imobaliser need re-coding, and to get a new key.
the engine management light flashes also.
anyone got any ideas?
cheers

put ur old ecu on ur new engine and use ur old keys. If the problem persists then its not the imobiliser. Also i dont think it would even turn over if the imobiliser is on, mine doesnt with an after market cat 1 system.

If the ecu light is flashing it IS to do with the factory transponder immobiliser.
You want your old ecu and the chip out of the old key,
Or the new ecu and the chip out of the car it came from.
