i i am brand new to this forum so first things firsts Hi my name is jim i live in wallasey cheshire my wife took kids to school this morning then i gets the phone call "the car wont start"
its a 1999/2000 spacewagon. called out RAC who said it was fuel pump and towed car to garage they checked it out then rang to say they think it was not the fuel pump but it was the ignition key not talking to car?????I took the other 2 keys to garage and the mec tried them!they did nothing apart from turn engine over still wont start
i did notice engine management light on on dash he said this was because keys not talking its been working fine apart from stalling when engine warms up to normal can anyone help as i dont want to start replacing all sorts of stuff that these people say is wrong and need replacing can the system be reset or programmed to read the transponder in the keys as i am taking kids away next week
i dont think this guy has a clue
please help if you can
regards jim

Try disconnecting the battery for half hour or so, this should reset the ecu and you'll be checking for loose battery terminals at the same time.

Good luck
