Hi folks just joined up, got a Prelude 2.2Vti Manual, UK Car, Traded in against a car I was selling, I have an intermittent problem with the immobiliser , every now and then the key light continues to flash, looking for advice on who/where can bypass it/repair it or sell me an jdm ecu etc

Thanks John

I have a similar issue - had flickering led then led stopped lighting up but immobiliser still worked - turned out to be a loose wire at the contact pad. I guess that would be a good place to start. My imobiliser is a toad aftermarket one and the contact pad is down by the gearstick. I just took the centre console/arm rest out to get to it.

It's the standard factory immobiliser , been told its the aerial around ignition barrel that's faulty

Was that not a recall item?

Correct, that was not a recall item. :lol:

The barrel was, not the immobiliser loop, which does sound likely, or the transmitter in the key.

Close enough. :lol:

I'll try another immob loop or remove the key and glue it nearer, as it's only going to be a track car, not likely to get nicked as it's blocked in!

Anybody know anyone who can bypass it

Anyone?

Or does anybody have an ecu they'd like to sell me ( one that's open)
