Volvo s70 '99 - Immobiliser stops engine after starting
Hey all,
When I start the car about 2 seconds later it turns of - but its not a sudden stall its a wind down so I am 99% sure its the immobiliser. Further to this, it doesn't start again after the first try - I have to wait 5 minutes to start it again (or dis/reconnect the battery). I read in the manual that this is the immobiliser.
I have tried both keys, and neither one works - which makes me think its probably not an issue with the ring antenna although I checked that anyway and it looks ok (no frayed wires or contacts).
Prior to this happening, I had the battery out for 1.5 days - could having the battery out reset the code in the immobiliser? Do I have to somehow reprogram the immobiliser? Is there anyway to bypass or remove it all together?
Thanks. My engine seems to be working fine now, but since I removed the battery the immobiliser is causing me grief. Thanks in advance.
