P38 4.0 1997 won't start after Chinese !!!

Hi guys I'm sat at 1:38 in the morning by the sea in Devon awaiting the aa after popping to get a takeaway! I locked the p38 came back unlocked it by the key went to start and nothing!! Thought maybe hadn't left it in park or neutrul but it was! Iv jumpered the starter and fuel pump and they run iv even left key in pos 2 and jumpered starter motor bit nothing it won't run! Iv tryed the emergency key thing and the rangie beeps at me ect to acknowledge it's worked but nothing! Any idears guys?
Cheers Si

It's obvioulsy immobilised. Did you lock it with the fob? Any messages on the dash? The EKA (emergency key access) should do it if it's done correctly. There's loads of threads on here on that subject.

Hi yes ud think it was immobilised but no message on dash and iv entered the EKA and got the confimation beeps from alarm but nothing... at a loss the strange thing is the check engine light hasnt come on now i know that this comes on 48ms after code has been read from key...

hi when you say nothing dose it turn over? or clunk at the starter?

no doest clunk at starter iv power probed the starter and it turns the engine over and iv probed the fuel pump and that runs so starter and pump ok its as if it immobilized but no message on dash ect the only thing that dosent happen is the check engine light...

it sounds like out of sinc but it could be as easy as bat down a bit have a look at earths in engine also leads to starter. when mine goes out of sinc it turns over but wont start i dont get message on dash

Hi update have managed to get her to crank by power probing a negitive to bcm out put the. For a short while I'm able to crank her on the key! I'm suspecting a crap batterey not sure yet tho it's on charge! How do u resync it then?

you will need rovercom or such like its yor becm out of sinc with ecu. have you got a code reader? if you haveplug it in you will get 2 codes p1667 p1672 thats out of sync
