Im desperate need of help guys if anyone knows how to solve my problem or who to buy whatever I need form that would be much appreciated.

Ive chopped out my standard vts alarm and stupidly unplugged my ECU and now my immobiliser is stopping me from starting my car.

Ive heard that there is a black box by the fuse box that controls the Immobiliser?

Anyone know how to get my car working again or bypass the immobiliser?

Its a 3 plug VTS on a 52 plate

Cheers guys

Hey dude

Ive removed everything alarm related apart from the tag around the ignition barel, the siren, all of the cables have been cut out of the loom.

The Key lights up on the dash and flashes repeatedly & the fuel or the water temp gauge smoothly scrolls from the botton to top of the gauge repeatedly strangely enough...

The car worked fine after removing the alarm but since unpluging the ECU its locked itself and as I have not alarm to plug ina again and no cables I cant drive my car :(

The fuel pump I can bypass but it floods the car on 2 clicks of the ignition and ive tried to test the coilpack and there seems to be no spark there. All the ignition cables work fine.
Cheers

deffo imob then, try unplugging the imob box then re try, that sthe prob with the the alarm/imob, you have to unplug imob first then remove everything, did it run only once before its locked itself, meaning it ran fine th first time you took everything off, then henext time you started it its not worked?

car worked after chopping out the alarm repeatedly but the first time I unplugged the ECU it didnt start.

Im willing to try anything but if you can just unplug the immobiliser and it starts its not really a well designed system in the first place lol fingers crossed though!
