ianVR6 0 Posted October 9, 2004 Hi Sorry if you've been here before, this is all new to me Bought a 95N VR6 a few weeks ago no problems until now. Put some fuel in, drove 10 miles stopped the car, but spoiler didn't go down. went to start it again but engine dying everytime after about 2 seconds max. Any suggestions?

dinkus 10 Posted October 9, 2004 Sounds like your immobiliser is on the blink. If there was anything wrong with the engine it wouldn't start at all, or would run very badly rather than just cut out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianVR6 0 Posted October 9, 2004 The imobiliser is a conlog system thats been fine until this afternoon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted October 9, 2004 if the spoiler hasn't went down and the engine won't restart then its yer fuse under the dash(driver-side) thats gone........i had exactly the same problem in January this year and all it needed was 1 fuse replaced and the relays pushed in more securely.........my S/roof also wouldn't shut as i had it tilted when mine played up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianVR6 0 Posted October 11, 2004 My car works again! I changed the fuse for the spoiler and the car started first time! But now i'm confused how can the fuse for the spoiler affect the car starting? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted October 12, 2004 Yup, think it's the fuel pump, for some slightly insane reason. I knew that was the case on the early cars but thought they changed it in 1992!! :roll: Good idea to carry some extra fuses! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
