Could be worth checking the leads and plugs. I used to have a motorbike which had a similar problem and it turned out to be the plugs were past their best and one of the coil packs was a bit past it too.

I know if 2 batteries are wired in a certain way they produce 24v as opposed to 12v. Have you or are you putting 24v through to system and damaged your coil packs? I might be talking bollox but....then again it might help.

It's in parallel so it will be 12v but with more amps. If in series you would get 24v but at the same amp output as one battery. That's not to say the increase in current has not caused a problem.

Having batterys in Parallel will not damage anything the current a device takes is determined by the resistance of the item.
Have you checked your fuel pressure ?

I checked the ignition relay, the can shaft sensor. And The fuel pump is priming.

But then i tested one more thing....

The Keys.

My main key is a transponder copy from a key maker.
And the immobilizer chip is powered by a small battery.
Which I believe is flat.

I used my original key. ( No battery) and :cheer:

:laugh: brummm

I dont use my original key because its got a fracture in it..

I hope this thread is useful to someone else in the future

The chip is powered by a magnetic field around the ignition barrel
