Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: How to rule out/confirm immobiliser without having to buy a new one?

I see what you mean, and I'm starting to think this quest has just begun 

What anyone happen to know where (geographically) on the car that sort of wiring would take place, if it has been done?

Oh an btw, is the immobiliser the electronic thing stuck to the back of the ignition switch barrel?
I'm just gonna have to start replacing more things...

Changed the maf sensor today. The car didn't stall for the five minutes I got to drive it, but the EML came on again after a few minutes and stayed on...

It's an IR, I'm pretty sure. Haven't seen that thing in ages though, it didn't work when I bought the car.

Disconnected maf and it hasn't stalled all day and just went to pick one up,but it's too late to replace now, so I'll let you know tomorrow. Thanks for all your help so far!

And might the maf sensor be what's causing the stalling then? Can a faulty maf sensor make the car stall while driving, and can I check if it's faulty or not somehow?

Aha, I see. So if I was able to take the key out of the ignition with the engine running, and went some place far away, the car would not stop? Maybe I should open my key, start the motor, go some place with the little chip, and see if the motor stops? That would definately rule out the immobiliser if it kept running, right?

ICV just checked, everything mechanical is clean and sliding freely. Resistance measured at 9.9ohms, anyone knows what to expect?

Think I should rule that one out.. What about the immobiliser now, does it seem like it could be what's causing my intermittent and very short lasting stops?

My car suddenly stops while driving. If I'm lucky, I can just clutch, and the car is running again by the time engine has reached idle rpm. It can happen six times in a mile, and it can happen once every six miles, completely random. Paperclip test shows 145 immobiliser (was that no signal?) and MAF sensor, whatever code that was. That might be an old code though.

Anyways, I am truly sorry for making yet another thread about these bloody immobilisers, I just need to confirm (or have you confirm) that I should go and buy a new one.

Searching didn't really do the trick for me when trying to find a walkthrough on the actual swap of immobiliser, could someone link me in the right direction please?

Thanks
