What engine is it?

[mmcg]

hi dod its a red top turbo

[Dod]

Ok, have you put a new battery in it? Also, is it a Factory imobilised engine?

yes new battery and aftermarket imobiliser

[Dod]

So no fault codes or engine management light showing when you're trying to start the car?

[mmcg]

management light goes out when i try 2 start

[Dod]

Ok, then it must be an imobiliser issue mate. Stick the new battery in, close the bonnet and lock the car. Wait for about a minute, then unlock the car and try starting it then.

[mmcg]

still no start wheres fuel injection relay

[Dod]

Its the Purple Relay beside the ECU in the Drivers side footwell.

Before you start pulling relays and the likes, begin with the basics: is there a spark and is there fuel?
