Might be a dodgy earth mate. After i did my box i had all sorts of probs. The car wouldnt start. Got someone to come and look and the ****er started :? . It was fine for a few days and then it started again. I took as many earths off as i could, sanded the surfaces and put them back on. Been fine since.
STARTER MOTOR - put it in 1st with ign off & roll it to & forth to free it off
PLIP KEY - will need programming on an XR25 computer
BAD EARTH - check all connections to starter / chassis earths etc
TIMING OUT - says it all.... possibly done a valve in ?? get it checked
TDC SENSOR - faulty / aligned in the correct position
PLIP RECIEVER - in the sunroof - is it faulty - is it accepting the frequency transmission from your plip and knocking your immobiliser off
FUELLING - is there fuel there
PLUGS - have you checked theres a spark
COIL - is it sparking the plugs
have you tryed bump starting it ???
have you tryed bump starting it ???
That would be very dangerous if the timing is out !!!!

Not really if he's drove it home^^^. The damage will already be done if its the timing.

usually if the timiing is initially out you can either hear a strange idle, or undue tapping noise.
usual tests.. look at spk plugs for firing, ignition block.. head rebuild is only £90 up near me.
well they tuk it back 2 the garage changed the batery and its all gd :? starts every the time!
ill keep u postd on it this matta though!
