Engine Won't Activate


Engine Cranks But Won't Start


If the vehicle engine cranks but fails to start, a factory-installed immobilizer system, which engages the engine via a computer chip embedded in the car key, may be to blame. Insert the key into the vehicle ignition lock and turn on the starter. If the vehicle engine then starts, you will need to purchase a transponder to bypass the immobilizer system.
