Standard Cobra alarm trouble

[vkosho]

standard immobiliser is a software one built into the ecu. Have you checked for any moisture damage?

I dont think you can change them over.

I havent checked for moisture as it kept in a dry garage for the last couple of months and the ecu is still in its protective cover.

car is really starting to annoy me now, I have heard of people using phase1 valver ecus with a chip in them, would that cure the problem?

[vkosho]

yeh i believe you can get phase 1 valver ecus without immobilisers and obv using a different chip with the correct williams map should work fine.

This is providing its the standard ecu immob thats causing your problem.

Could do with an electronics expert to shed some light tbh.

Havent updated this for a while as my car has been in being painted, hoping to have it back by the middle of next week. Problem is i still havent sorted my non starting problem.

I can get my hands on another williams ecu that i know to be in good working order, would it be the case of a straight swap and everything will work as it should?

[vkosho]

yeh will swap straight in. Let us know how you get on.

Well i finally got my williams back from being painted last night after weeks of waiting around, managed to fit the new ecu and havent had a problem with it since. Hopefully that is cured now, so it time to sit back and wait for the next fault.
