   Just finished fitting a vts engine into my vtr and it wont start. I have a keypad immobilizer and it wont accept the code, i put it in and it just beeps a few times with a flashing red light. The new ecu is unlocked btw. Im guessing its an immobilizer problem but cant work out what to do now Any ideas?

   if you left the keypad in youve locked the vts ecu. the code youre putting in is for the vtr ecu

   How can I tell if its locked or not? Surely if locked the imobilizer light would come on?

    Going to fit a new ecu that is unlocked, but I wanted to clarify what to unplug exactly, I got one of those keypad immobilizers, I have unplugged the keypad but I dont know what the immobilizer bit looks like. Also can I plug the immobilizer back in after I have connected the ecu and started the car?

    Does anyone have a picture of the immobilizer? Not really sure what is the right thing to unplug as there is a few Grey boxes and dont want to lock another ecu. Also can I plug immobilizer back in the ecu is fitted?

    You will need and unlocked ecu and and to remove the little black box the size of a fag box up behind the glove box on the passenger side then you should be away. that what i did on my 16v conversion and it works fine.
