uk impreza 2000 imobiliser
any one know if a uk impreza on a 99 plate, has an imobiliser in the key or is it just the sigma alarm, the car runs for 2 seconds then shuts off, so thinking could be some sort of imobiliser fault, pump primes no imobiliser light on dash either, its running an apexi ecu as well, so cant read faults via the black connectors

To answer tour original question: Yes there are two immobilsers. The one in the key and the sigma alarm. If the key is playing up, the flashing LEd on the binnacle, in the picture of a key, will flash, and allow it to run for a couple of seconds.
If the sigma was playing up, it wouldn't turn at all.

thats what it is doin running for a couple of seconds then dien, but no flash on the binnacle, had a auto electrician out to it an he couldn't access the ecu, would that be the case if the imobiliser in the key wasn't workin?

its a right pain fair play, its a mates scoob which i fitted a front mount, road tested it an after 2 mile it shut down an been the same since, checked everythin, even put the top mount back on an no change, checked every vacum pipe, every connection under the bonnet an every fuse, but it starts for 2 seconds an dies so thinkin imobiliser even thou the light on dash goes out an the sigma opens an closes doors lets fuel pump prime an even lets the starter turn, its like it wants to keep goin but the ecu is shuttin it down

Not heard of transponders in keys messing up, but what can happen if you have more than one different chipped key, from other cars etc, is then can interfere with each other, stopping them from working.
So if you do have other keys on you get them out of the way and give it a go.

the other key aint on the key ring so cant be that, does the the transponder just send a signal to the ecu? could the apexi have lost the information to turn the imobiliser off by any chance?
