Hi Guys, I a new to this forum, but would appreciate any help you can give in isolating the problem I am currently etting. Had the car a couple of years now, great w/horse, 170k plus on the clock, suddenly it just doent want to satrt first time, the engine magment light flashes, then suddenly it goes OK...the local garage think its something to do with the ecu not holding/or recogising the key code? was recommended to switch to my second key, but sometimes its worse. i.e. 4/5 times to start, other times starts first time????
1996 Omega Tourer ( estate) 2.5 V6 Petrol
when you do the paper clip test, where does it show the codes?
as my display is slightly useless...
eml light does not stay on, it only flashes whilst I am turning the ignition key?

When you do the Paperclip test the EML flashes... the other way is get your car to someone who has a Tech 2 to read the faults.. (tech 2 is a computer that plugs into your car)
The Boy has one also MarkDTM they are both Admins on the forum :y
Your Profile needs updating too mate so everyone can see what car you drive eg V6, 2.0litre etc..
Click onto User CP, then across the top Profile :y

If that EML flashes when ignition is turned on, it tells that immobilizer is active.
