hi
my 306 1.8 16v 1997 wont start the starter turns but there is no spark and the fuel pump doesnt run. i have checked the double relay that powers the fuel pump and the ecu and it works just fine. i do now suspect that the problem is the immobiliser do you have any suggetions, can i disable the immobiliser or is there something else that needs to be done? it would also be helpful to know where the immobiliser box is located.
Thanks

Immobiliser dosnt cut the fuel pump only the spark and injection pulse's
The immo is built in the ecu and works in conjunction with the secirity module and the key chip

thank you very much for your response if you are sure the fuel pump would still run i sure got another problem i can see that the double relay doesnt get power either. if any of you had the same problem i would really appreciate if you could write how you solved the problem.

Ignition swtch powers ecu, ecu powers 1st side double relay which powers fuelpump through impact switch.
1st side of relay only stays energised for 10-15 seconds to prime the fuel unless the ecu sees engine rotation

Update
The problem was a corroded wire shoe at the generator supplying power to the relay and it starts fine now but thank You Very much for your help
