Dodd89 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Bought my vti-s from Birmingham... The one krzys used to own and it's died on me three times. For some reason it just cuts out, stays at 3k rpm but then won't start, wish someone can give me the answer to sorting this otherwise it's up for sale tonight. I'm pondering around the immobiliser area, but been told it could be timing (too intermittent) fuel or spark issue. But overall I'm starting to hate this car.... Please help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Shame to hear this mate .. I've not been too caught up on what has and hasnt been done .. Could lend its way to an immobilizer issue, i suppose the way to find out is to bypass the immobilzer, im sure someone know's how to ..

Dodd89 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hopefully someone does know because I have a strong feeling it's that, after I bought it I read krzys build thread and was chuffed yet gutted at the same time. The cars perfect apart from this as it's been two hours in the boiling sun waiting to be rescued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodd89 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yeah, I thought that.... But didn't want to fork out straight after buying it :/ are auto elecs expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 It sucks I know, what have you tried so far that was suggested in the other thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodd89 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Well one think I have checked was the spark and don't seem to be getting one :/ waiting for the recovery truck now, 6 hours I've been here trying to repair this thing with limited tools. I'll do my upmost to sort it as I love the car. Krzys was it doing this when you sold it or was it running OK do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 It was spot on when I sold it mate, but I know there was a problem shortly after and the dizzy was apparently replaced a second time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodd89 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yeah, he didn't have a clue. The aa have been out checked as much wiring as he could and it's a suspected ecu problem. But he's not 100%. That's what autodata is telling him. Sooooo if anyone knows of and ecu for my mb6 just holla haha. Hopefully one turns up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodd89 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 But he also said it could be the earth :/ just no spark. I will get it sorted, day of cleaning tomorrow lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
