i once had a flashing EM light like that, what had happened with mine was I had a flat battery I had turned my car over and over a few times and it wouldnt start so I jump started my car but because i'd turned it over a few times already and its injection it was flooeded so when i jumped it, it started sounded like a bag and hammers for 5 secs cut out and the EM light was flashing. I turned the igntion off then on left it a bit then jump stated it again and had no probs. maybe its something to do with fuel or flooding or something with u?
Oh....mines a 1.4 16v Engine

the immobiliser is not reading the chip, give it a few minutes and try it again.
