A feed wire behind the immobiliser is where mine was. Had to remove part of drivers side under dash panel.
Once you locate wiring to unit it will be obvious.

yeah sounds like a fuel problem, either oxidation in injectors or crap in filter maybe?
Try the fuel additive first.

Sometimes a good run up the street for a few miles is better than just sitting stationary trying to warm up.
Try that and report back after approx 8-10 miles of running.

Sounds like a bit of damp has got into her.
Have you tried going for a good blast?

Sorted!!!!


Poxy after market immobiliser fitted by some previous owner that i don't ever use because i don't have the key for it decided to pack up.
Removed the in-line fuse to it and car fires up!

Now i can sleep

Tried that but get no flashes, in fact the "check engine"light doesn't even appear at all!

I've shorted the HT lead from the coil to ground and turned the engine over without getting a spark , so it's looking at maybe replacing the coil unless i can test it for a fault?

No.... i asumed that unless the "check engine" light came on the diagnostic fault codes were not accessable.

Fault codings! yeah i've got the link to see which code it is but i don't have the "Check engine" light up in my car. Do i need it on display before i do the diagnostic code check? I reckon too it may be the coil but need to confirm it before buying one, thats why i'm looking for a test i ...

now that aint helpful

any serious help out here?

OllyA cheers for that mate, i'm not getting any dashboard warnings i.e "check engine" but i'll have a look at link

Scott, got your meaning but thought i'd save paper!
I was hoping for some boffin to answer all the questions in one easy to understand post.

1. How do i find a fault code?
2. as above but with a vehicle that won't start?
3. how do i test to see if either the distibutor or coil is dead? (there is no spark at plugs).
4. check that it's not the factory fitted immobilliser thats gone pop, stopping it starting?

i.e?




yeah regarding Dizzy and lead, i may check for a spark next chance i get.
Fortunatly i don't rely on my MR2 for my main transport so it's look and try things as and when i get time.

I went to start my normally first time starting '92 mk 2 yesterday and it wont!
The fuel pump is still heard pumping and engine turns over no probs but no starting, not even half a spark. Could this be a malfunction with the
Immobiliser or any other ideas please?

yeah cheers

i wondered if it was caused by todays extreme heat maybe too?

which relay is it and where?

I recently had a power steering problem but soon fixed it using the ‘ignition on/off ‘ loads of time routine. My power steering light came on after parking up for a short while and wasn’t working at all for the return trip home. I checked on this board for possible solutions/fixes and after reading ...

yeah thanks, but still gonna be tricky trying to hold caliper still and doing that, unless i'm missing something here

I'm in the process of replacing my rear discs and pads and have browsed through this thread and taken most of it in but missed the bit about a tool to turn the piston in with. Do i need a special tool for this or not?

I've just had a new one fitted by a mechanic friend who swore he'd never fit another! It took him the best part of 5 hours and it was still the original on there so bolts were a bit tight and difficult to undo (think he struggled big time with the crank pulley). My mk2 has done 78000 miles so it ne...

I believe from that mine is a Rev 2 , cheers for that

Just wanted to make sure of details before i order the pads.

Anyone else got a rev2 n/a and brought pads recently?
