   orite i have read that on a mk2 saxo you can start the car and then disconect the black box under the pass dash,
   
   but im only doing this to see if it is my problem,
   
   question is, if i do this and it is not this is it just a case of reconecting with the car running to refit?
   
   its eather my immobiliser or something to do with the fueling
   
   answer asap would be great

   also will removing this permanently disable my immobiliser and not cause future problems?

   if you start your car and remove the box as you said you will unlock your ecu and have no future problems starting your car without it, if you want to put it back it i guess its as straight foward as how you removed it and will lock your ecu back to your key i think. hope this helps

   +1 you just put it back in and it will lock again and go back to how it was

    turns out its not the immobiliser, it starts fine sometimes like 5 times in a row then all off a suden it will take about 10 seconds to start, like u can hear the starter motor working for 10 secs then it starts, what u think the problem is?
