I have an intermittent fault on my 5th gen Lude F22 tiptronic

for some,reason recently just turns itself off at any speed ...for no apparent reason

I took the cover of the column the white plastic dome thing on the column if i tap it car stops, tap again it starts.
I guess this is the immobilizer ???

can this be bypassed...as the fob on my car has never worked since ive had it....JDM import Honda Garage couldn't sort it ??

Anyway it a right Bstrd...and sometime takes 30-40 key turns to start....not ideal

HELP !!!!
Thanks

That's just the normal connector on the back of the ignition barrel.

IIRC this was a problem on the 5th gens, but I'm sure someone will be along soon to confirm/correct.
