Chimaera cold start

[gary58]

Opened garage started her up tick over 10 minutes then went out all day no problems as usual got back in the early evening parked on drive which is on a incline facing up to garage left for 2 hours immobilizer on went to put her away for the night when turn the ignition on no pump no start as being late
kept trying turning on off still no avail so i decided to jump start her on the key into the garage as i got up to the garage door she starts let her warm up then then she worked every time until 2 months later deja vu anyone had the same problem ?

Don't suppose it could be due to low fuel level and parked on a slope?

This is nothing to do with the slope, it is the classic immobiliser issue.

Just Google "immobiliser bypass" on these pages and you'll find all you need to know including how to bypass the system which is a cheap but effective fix.

Sounds more like the immobiliser to me if both the fuel pump and starter motor failed to engage and then suddenly sprang back to life.

[gary58]

starter turns no problem fuel pump not engaging

Have just read Chimpafrolic post 2011 is it necessary to go through this to cure the fault

[ch427]

Its tricky to know what to do but its a case of bypass it and forget about it, get the original replaced with something modern or repair the original and wire it correctly if it wasnt before.
Any car alarm specialist should be able to deal with it, 2 ive heard good reports about are bridgewater electronics and abacus car alarms.

Either immobiliser or relay. Give the underside of the dash on the passenger side a good whack with the ignition on, that sometimes releases the immobiliser relay. Find the two silver relays in the passenger footwell and give them a hard tap against the battery cover.

WIth luck one or other of these will get it going.
