I know someone who had a smiliar problem, was the crank sensor. Have you had it scanned for codes?

Tested the crank sensor with a multimeter and got 571 ohms. Havent scanned it yet will hopefully be able to tomorrow.

Are you getting a buzzing noise from your fusebox when cranking over?

No, no noise coming from the fusebox.
Dont think I can hear the fuel pump priming either.

if the plugs are black - new plugs might be worth while?
You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

I would check the basics first - fuel, compression and ignition.
Although you don't have to check in that order  :laugh:

Hopefully have new plugs some stage tomorrow.

Fuel pump relay can you test it or just replace it?

Have fuel going to the rail anyway cause I disconnected the feed and cranked it and fuel came out. Was quite dark/murky though (been sitting up for a while)

apparently fuel goes off - so would drain and replace.

Plugged in today and got this from it. All im really concerned about is the immobilizer fault. I cleared the fault and it hasnt come back but the car will still fire and run for a few seconds then cut out. Any ideas or is it off with the ECU and get it defeated?

same problem with my vr buddy!


00546 - Data Wiring faulty: Implausible Signal
Possible Symptoms
Engine not starting / immediate Shutdown
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) ON
Possible Causes
Wiring and/or Connector(s) from/to Immobilizer Control Module (J362) faulty
No Signal or Implausible Signal on W-Line between Immobilizer Control Module (J362) and Engine Control Unit or Fuel Cut-Off Valve Control Unit
Immobilizer Control Module (J362) incorrectly coded
Immobilizer Control Module (J362) faulty
Possible Solutions
Check Wiring and/or Connector(s) from/to Immobilizer Control Module (J362)
Check Immobilizer Control Module (J362) Coding, Baud Rate Setting
Check/Replace Immobilizer Control Module (J362)
Special Notes
Under certain circumstances this code may be stored after improperly operating the Vehicle/Ignition. For example after the Engine has stopped the Ignition is switched on again immediately (Engine Control Module is still in the Start-Up Phase).
In such a case switch off the Ignition and wait at least 10 seconds before switching it back on. Then check and clear Fault Codes.


as a added problem all my windows decided to go down and refuse to go back up :') good thing i have a garage
