Subject:      Re: starting and engine immobilizer
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Eight years ago I  had a engine immobilizer installed as anti theft device.
It shuts of the starter and fuel, I believe, until you activate device with
a digital key thing.
It has worked perfectly.
On three occasions in the past two months, when I had been driving for
awhile, when I turned
off vehicle and then went to restart it vehicle would not start for 5
minutes or a little more.
The immobilizer light shuts off as it should when activated but vehicle will
not start.
It has never done this when vehicle is cold.
I assumed it was the immobilizer and am having it replaced tomorrow,
however, could this
be a start issue with the vehicle.
I I hate to lay out the money for a new immobilizer if it's not the problem.
Any advice appreciated and thank you for taking time to read.
