Just planning ahead now.

Have had a 'quick' conversation with oldskool about this and he reckons the ECU is perfect for the engine. I know you need to remap to make it run correctly, but how do you escape the immobiliser problem. I would need to check that the car starts and runs before i take it to have it remapped as im sure that id find several problems if i just turned up to have the car mapped.

I already have the ECU and loom, but even if i want to go with the Code box from the punto i would have the problem with the locks wouldnt i?

Have tried Gaz and McKrich but they are unable to make a chip that just disables the immobiliser.

Is there an easy way around this, as i cant find any info on it???????

If you wanted to get round the immob problem you will need the ECU virgined so it will pair up with your keys.

Can't remember fully but it's only £50 to have it done.

thanks

Alternatively you could run your 1.1 ECU with a remap. Theres not too much re-wiring involved, mostly extending the loom to reach.

Thanks

Think ill definately try the 1.2 16v ECU to start with as its the better option apparently. I knew you could buy virginised ECU's but didnt realise you could make them into virgins.

Will have a hunt. Thank-you. Dan

Quick search and ive found 'reddy4bed' is able to do it. Have PM'd and await a reply.

Its the chip inside the key head that the immobiliser is looking for. Open they punto key, take the chip out and put it into the cento key.

If you don't have split or openable keys, sometimes its a wee bung that you take out, then just cut the blade off the punto key and use it as your key ring ornament.

can just tape the punto key to the reciver ring and hide it some where behind the dash

Will see if 'reddy4bed' is able to do it cheaply, as i prefer this idea as less to go wrong. Dont trust myself taking the key apart.

So the code box contains no info?

Thanks for the ideas. Donated. Dan

hmm just out of interest, which 1.2 16v loom and ecu are you using?

Is it punto sporting mk1?

Thanks

yep.
