Waja 1.8 Cobra immobiliser box location

[gunnerzz]

Sent you a message already

Thanks bro,
The number is not the same on FB but I think its the same person. Did pm him on FB and he mentioned he can duplicate the ECU or bypass the immo after studying how others done it which is good...I was like...COOL. Just need to let Hari Raya pass only can start to think how much I will dump into the repair.

There is 1 Waja 1.8 being left at a housing area near my workplace. For the pass 3-4 days I've been visiting the house nearest to the car trying to made contact with the occupant and if i'm lucky can get the part I want. I even went to the back of the house to call out but until today nobody answer. I know there is people inside, maybe they thought i'm there to kutip hutang.

Update,
i manage to get hold of a used ecu with immobiliser key at bargain price of RM300 from Alor Star. Was a RM300 gamble but after few whatsapp msg can see the seller is genuine.

Now waiting for it to arrives, based on tracking number the item has reached Melaka on Sat but City Link is super slow as only yesterday it reached its distribution center at Batu Berendam....so close yet so far.

The first place i will drive the Waja after it runs (hopefully) is the tire shop.Damn screw puncture the brand new rear left tire before the ECU died.

Mr DIY is haunted lah bro. I come in to spend less than RM10 will end up spending more than RM50.

Go and pickup the ecu at City Link distribution center..Wonder how they survive all these while with super slow service.

Went home and install the ecu, connect the battery, and....it still wont start.Immo light still not blinking.

wtf....well not so bad as i now have spare ecu with immo key at super low price which i can resell for double what i get it for.

I give up, will tow it to Proton on wednesday. Really upset as i could not solve it.

The ECU location in the engine bay after being relocated from its original place behind the bumper where it is exposed to water. Dont worry, there is a custom cover to protect it from the heat.

the crank sensor all ok?

and the key all ok?

crank sensor has been cleaned...tedious job as the sensor is hidden,those with short finger can forget about cleaning it.
Will try and swap with spare unit if i can still find it.

I have a theory last night, the immobiliser works by either cutting off spark or fuel in order to prevent unauthorised starting. If lets say the fuel pump is kong, will it caused the immo not detecting it and not functioning at all?

I did try normal procedure to start the engine by touching the immo key once assuming the LED is burnt and not blinking, still doest work. Tried the emergency bypass procedure but the led does not blink meaning it does not detect my bypass procedure. This could oso mean the touch point circuit is kaput...

So many possibility.

Is this the immobilizer thingy you are referring to?

Thats the thing.
Its suppose to blink under armed mode and off after i touch the immo key.
Now, it does not blink at all.

Just read some post in another car club, seems Cobra alarm very kacau one. Even my VR old alarm was Cobra unit. After tune okay for one week then off again, finally changed it and that was quite some years ago.....

 

[parakey]

Can go to Cobra and ask them to disable?

Called insurance and will tow it to Proton this afternoon.

Will see what the damage will be. Wife has been hinting for a new ride which will be an MPV.
Last night visited a friend and saw his Ertiga...5 years/100k km free service.
Hard to ignore that.

Update,
Proton called and told me it could be the fuel pump. They said they managed to get the engine to start but it kept dying.

Fuel pump is only about 1 year plus but i have been keeping the fuel level very low all that while which is known to have negative effect on the pump.

however They wont confirm its the fuel pump and told me if i got spare unit they are willing to swap and verified.What do u guys think,should i find a used pump or buy a new one?

How come SC allow you to bring own spare parts?
