172 CUP
Yes i know its been covered on here before but bare with me, ive searched the web for weeks but no luck.
Ive just bought myself a 53reg 172 cup with a suspected immobiliser issue that has been sat since june 2010, done some research before i picked it up and all the symptoms pointed towards either dodgy TDC sensor, key fob battery, relays etc.
Anyway got the car home and battery charged, ordered a new TDC sensor and loom, key fob battery, and the 2 small black rectangular relays all from Renault and a K-TEC diagnostics tool thinking yeah this will sort it, how stupid of me thinking that.
2 weeks on and countless hours with either my head under the bonnet or sat on the laptop searching the web for a solution i can officially say im stuffed for ideas.
Problems are as follows:
The key locks and unlocks the car, key in ignition and immobiliser light stops flashing and stays off also as it should, cannot hear the fuel pump at all with ignition on, car turns over but nothing more. Diagnostics doesnt pick up any faults. Checked yesterday and theres not only any fuel but also no spark. We had the inlet mani off disconnected various sensors on the mani and tried the diagnostics again with these sensors disconnected and it didnt pick up any issues?! when surely it should of?
Also checked the fuel pump by plugging it into a 182 we had in at work and worked fine.
So im thinking the ECU is fooked? If this is the case is there anyone or anyway they can check the ecu is dead of dying?
Sorry for the long winded explenation and thanks in advance for any replys.
