    Its not anything else but the imobliser. It wouldnt come up with the imobliser code otherwise!

    It cuts out after running for 5 mins? Does it struggle to start after? Crank sensor perhaps?

    If the ecu was a non-immobilised one then surely it could not flash the ecu light, as it would not be programmed to do so...

    The engine will start fine without a VSS signal

    Aye i know, CK was sure its non-imoblised though. I dont even know anyone with a baby xe that the ecu can be tested in

    sounds to me like a component failure, maybe caused by bad wiring..

    I'm tempted to at your arrogance when you were talking about the project first but na, I know the feeling only too well. You tried what RRV8 said? Can you take a look at what you've joined to what, make a note of it and possibly a few pics as well mate?
    I spent 90% of my money on Drink and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    Might be worth re-trying all your wiring. You seem very confident that it is the ecu but isnt this the 3rd ecu? Only so many times a workman can blame his tools.

    Ive had it before and was absolute hell. Got it running eventually though
