i need to disable the imobliser on my fiesta 1.4 16v r reg how can i do this dont want to go to the expense of replaceing ecu and keys and key pick up thing please help

 

whats the problem making you wanting to remove it?

 

not the best method, but remove the red bit from the end of your key and tape it to the ignition barrel.

 

the imobiliser keeps kicking in when cold so i cant start the car i have been told it would cost 1000 to have it sorted because it would need ecu, key traciever, barrel ,and all sensors replaceing , the car is thirteen years old it is a good runner when it starts like i said it only happens when it is cold once started which can take up to two hours my latest way of starting it is to heat the inside of the car with a blow heater i think ecu may have a short or dry joint and the heat is may be expanding it this is why i want to disable imobiliser but have been told it cannot be done

 

thanks will give it a go

 

can i put my question another way is there any sensor under the bonnet that would make the imobiliser kick in and the car not to start it was in the sun today and started first time i am thinking may be air in take or water temp sensor

 

no not really! does the red light stay on/ if not id say its the crank position sensor or just faulty coilpack

 

when you say it wont start, does it actually turn over or just the ignition lights come on and when you try to crank, then it wont do anything?

 

yes it wont turn over but ignition lights come on and little imobiliser light flashes rapidly but when it is warm all is well starter works ok this has been tested i there fore think it is not ecu what are the symptoms for faulty crank sensor

 

could possibly be a faulty transponder around the ignition barrel or an ignition control module?

if it was a faulty crank sensor the car would just turn over as normal but not fire as it wouldnt send a signal to the Coil pack to give a spark

 

as above could be transponder ring, modual ecu or even yust broken chip in the key maybe?? do you have the red key? or a spare to try?
