95 1.4 engine starts but cuts out after 1 second - wa22a
I have a 95 oldshape rover 214 sli, i recently removed the battery to charge it, but when i replaced it the immobiliser activated and i don't have the fob. I have tried the door key code many thousands of times but it does not work, so i bought a second hand ecu, immobiliser and key fob.
I think the ecu may have been the wrong one as, although the immobiliser was no longer a problem, the engine will not start, the starter motor is engaging and engine doesn't sound like it should.
I then put the old ecu back on with the new immobiliser and now the engine will start but after 1 second cuts out. will this be because of the immobiliser or prehaps an other problem witht the engine?
