best bet is to hold down both buttons on the fob to re-sync the fob to the EEM, Nb this doesn't re-program the fob just resync an out of sync one which is already in the system.

Failing that completely disconnect the battery(not at the power centre) and try again.

the alarm has 4 buttons in a row i dont think its standard only the top button works, it pops the solonoids to open the drivers door, it has an alpine security system never seen one before, is there anyone in the birmingham area who could take a look at it.......

Your key fob obviously is aftermarket and only for the door solenoids. Disconnect the positive terminal from the battery leave it off for a few mins and then reconnect. Your immobiliser should then cancel itself. They are very temperamental and I have experienced similar problems. The immobiliser switches off the fuel pump after a couple of seconds which is why it will start but not run.

Try disconnecting the battery completely (at the battery) and then touch the positive cable which you have just removed from the battery to the frame of the car and earth it, this should clear everything to start again.

(This will not work if you are just disconnecting at the front of the car.)

i doubt the gen1 fob will work your solenoids with out some fiddling involved, though the gen1 stock alarm with door poppers and fob can be rigged in such away to turn the alarm off and pop open the same time, for a change it only costs pennies recall mine was fitted for £25 and a bottle of JD

so much cooler than having to lean and use the internal handle

Had the same problem - it was down to a loose wire. Mine had had an aftermarket all singing all dancing Clifford alarm fitted that had subsequently been removed by the previous owner.

Remove the Knee Bolster from under the dash. On the side of the transmission tunnel are two control boxes. On mine I have a standard (I Think) Three button remote. I found that when the alarm button on the fob was pushed one of the boxes would click - I guess this was the reciever recieiving the signal and activating the Imobiliser and alarm module (The other box)
I found that moving the wires in th plug to the imobiliser module would light the 'ALARM SET' light on the dash. Once this was lit pressing the unlock button on my remote extinguished the light and the motor would then start.

I Hope this helps

Sorry guys - ignore my post,

Different circumstances I didn't fully read the post, and concurr that a reset is what is probabally required as your fob doesnt appear to work.

Mine would unlock the car ( pop the door ) turn off the alarm but not the immobiliser.
