HI guys im new my gf has recently bought a Saxo 1.1 desire 52 plate. Now for the first couple of months the car was fine then one day she went to start it and it wouldnt start? it would crank over fine but not fire, then it would fire but then cut out straight away. Then if she left it for a few seconds it would be fine. The car when it runs runs fine no burping and farting etc but on the odd occasion it has cut out mid drive. The eml light is on but then it goes off. I put it on the diagnostic machine at my work and it didnt really come up with a fault apart from fuel failure on all cylinders. However the day before the problems she ran it lowish on fuel and i belived that she had some crap in the filter so i changed the filter and its been fine since until today?? Now the eml light is on and will start when it wants to and runs fine however when it doesnt start the hazards are flashing?? Is this and immobiliser problem?? Is it common on these?? im unsure and need advice anything appreciated!! :wall:
