Hello everybody, just joined and this is my first request for help.
I have a 2001 P38 Vogue 4.6 with a Landi gas conversion.
I have two big problems, firstly I left the car in the garage for three weeks and found battery completely dead (familiar with battery drain on the P38) Anyhow, after re-charging the battery and installing I then followed exactly the EKA code sequence from the hand book, all worked once the key fob button was pressed as requested when in the ignition, however it would not fire although turned over briskly. Checked for fuel on plugs and spark, nothing. I am thinking that the becm has lost it's syncronisation with the engine management ecu. although the becm is registering the key, the engine management ecu won't communicate with the becm as the becm will have reset itself when the battery went flat.
I think the code will need reading from the engine management ecu (4 digits), then that code will need to be entered into the becm. The other problem I have is that I live in the wilds of South West France and don't think that there is anybody nearby that can help. Any suggests to help me out?
Regards Phil
