Rite, previous to the other thread ... my car wont start cos the immobliser thats built into the loom is cuttin my engine out because i havent got the correct key/pick-up .....
Ive rung like 10 ppl today and no1 can come out and programme the ECU ..
But ive been thinkin there must be a way otherwise the GSi corsa would NEVER have been stolen .. and they do .. so there must be a way round it ...
Dont say it here if u know PLEASE PM i need my new engine
Cheers

Before the fault occurred did you drop the key.

You will need the transponder number for the ECU. If you know the details of the car it came out off you should be able to get it,

If your car had an immobiliser with the original engine it will be a simple job to reprogram. if you can get the transponder number.

The ecu has to match the pick up and the chip in the key ..
U can get the ecu's re-programmed but for some reason mine cant be ..

By reprograming you are matching them all up but the only way you can reprogram is if you can supply the transponder security number.

surely if u change ecu,transponder etc and use key it will be fine
or would that not work either
