Still no go , Same as before.

Change the fuel filter , 6 new plugs , cam & crank sensor. I also checked the compression.

From looking at the front of the car:

Front Pistons

Left = 185
Middle=195
Right=190

Rear :

Left: 200
Middle: 210
Right:205

Cleaned idle control , throttle sensor etc... Nada.

No lack of compression.

I've been speaking to someone from MG lifestyle in regards to my issues and he's saying it can be the immobilizer causing the engine cough and then die.

I have the EKA code , from what i've been reading it should allow me to start the engine with the immobilizer disabled ... Am i correct ?

Worth a try I guess, remember to leave it for about 10 minutes after entering the code before trying to start it.

When locking my car with the fob it locks and then unlocks on its own , in the thread it states a bad SCU..

My car was damaged by water entering the engine , maybe it could of fried the SCU aswel some how...

When entering the code the alarm goes off when on the 3rd EKA number.

Does this state a bad code ?

[petet16]

It does, where did you get the code from.
