You got an 0335 and still having the starting problem since "sorting" the immobiliser issue - as I said earlier Al - "Symptoms now classic crank sensor issues.  Think you seem to have cured the immobiliser issue, and anything further to do with the key is a red herring."  IMO!

colin , since stripping the key & relocating the "chip"  the car has started perfectly with no more "cut outs" as before .

Also the 0335  code was present when I first got the car  & first read the codes. 

I think I have heard that some codes will self clear after a certain amount of start ups if the problem clears .

I have only started this car about 30 times since I have had it  ,so would that 0335 be an old one that had not self cleared ?

I have now had the codes cleared  . .  so if we get another non start or cut out & the 0335 re appears then it would almost certainly be a  faulty crank sensor .

I am hoping that I may get an answer to the question I asked a few posts back, about if the imobiliser barrel sensor would cause the engine to cut out while running if the "chip" moved & lost contact with the sensor  if it was loose in the key .



I think I will post just that question  again  in a new thread  & see if i get any response

thanks   . . . Al  ;)

Al crank sensor code should clear after 20 consecutive "good" starts I believe.

You know what to do if 0335 comes back  ;)
