'98 impreza immobilsed???

[daz]

Please can anyone help?

I'm selling this car for my friends who has moved abroad.
It has sat outside my house for 3 months.
The battery has died and been replaced but I think the car has immobiliser
problems as she starts but then dies after 5seconds or so as if the fuel
isn't getting through.

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks in advance

Hi Daz

Perhaps make sure that power is getting to the fuel pump or if it shuts off
after a couple of seconds.
If an immobilizer is indeed being used, I'd imagine they put it in series
somewhere with either the ignition or fuel pump relay -- I am pretty sure
both those are under the dash. Whomever installed it probably put a hidden
disable switch somewhere.

It could also be that your fuel pressure is bad so check your fuel pressure
regulator.

Hope this helps.

a common way to install an immobiliser is to piggyback it on teh parking
light DPDT switch. Try turning on the parking lights then starting it.
