   first post here, hope you guys can help me out, saved a highly modded mk2 vtr saxo from the scrapper, bought it as a non runner. Done all the cheap fixes first crank shaft sensor/coil pack etc. Ended up bitting the bullet an getting the brain unlocked because the immo light was flashing althought the cars getting petrol. Hope i can get it sorted before i need to sent the car to an expert

   Who unlocked the ECU and when you had it unlocked did you just pluck it back in as soon as you got it?

   Is it getting fuel through to the injectors if not try the fuel cut off, it's like a little red circle, press it and if it's tripped you will feel it click back in. It's there incase of a crash but can pop out sometimes

    need to check if the ECU is sending a trigger to the coilpack for ignition.. if there isnt a trigger, you wont get any ignition, you will need the use of a pico scope

    only getting back to this now, cars with specialist, was no power getting to the brain due to bad earth from relay pack under ecu, but now the problem is fuel pump isnt getting power so will have to check is it pump or relay problem next
