Fuck my life man.
Right, 106 conversion, VTS. Sorted the short I was having last week playing havoc with the ignition, although it ran during that anyway, and all is hunky dory. I've refitted the bumper and trim etc, and actually drove it a short distance yesterday. All was well. Went to reverse it back into the garage, and I stalled it.
It then refused to start, cranks all day, but the immobilizer light flashes on the 2nd turn of igniton and the fuel pump doesn't prime. After about 20 mins it fired up and all was well. During these 20 minutes I was reading up about unlocking 3 plug cars by disconnecting the immobilizer box. So, with it running, I moved it in front of the house and let it warm up so it wouldn't risk stalling, then went to disconnect the immobiliser. Didnt even get as far as the plug, literally as I touched the black box the car just cut out dead.
Non start since, I've changed the transponder pick up in case that was fucked again, so I have 2 new ones and neither make a difference. I've left the battery off overnight, and this morning checked all the earths on the car and the fuel pump connection and relay connection. Everything on the car works, there are no fuses blown, and nothing to suggest a wiring problem elsewhere, hazards, lights, wipers etc all operational. I've rechecked the earths again for like the 100th time, they're fine.
After leaving it overnight when I went to attempt to start it the fuel pump relay clicked say 4 or 5 times rapidly, subsequent attempts it just clicks once.
WTF lol. Any ideas. I've messaged Cam and he reckons it won't be the ECU locked, he says he thinks a bad wire or earth.
