Did the last Rockingham race meeting; practice and Race 1; car ran brilliantly. Drove into parc ferme. Left the engine running. Scrutineer told us to turn our cars off. 10 mins later, told we could go. Nothing; didn't want to know.

Wouldn't tow start. had fuel in the car. Crank sensor and fuel relay [behind the ECU box] replaced. Still nothing.


installed a push button starter and removed the ignition key etc in September; have run it many times. No problem starting; always started first time, on the button.


Young Mr Chambers has been really helpful and thrown a few possibilities into the ether. The Motorsport garage I tend to use is going to send the ECU away to get it checked to see if it has locked itself for some odd reason. locked


Anyone near Corby got a spare ECU I can try ? Anybody had the same experience?

Yup. find which one is not happening and go from there!

HNY gang.

I can report that the none-starting problem seems to now be solved. New fuel relay and Crank sensor didn't sort it so the ECU was sent off to a place on the Isle of Wight. [ Avilec Ltd ]


Turned out the ECU had locked itself because Mr Stupid had left the immobilizer modem still plugged in, despite disconnecting the key, aerial etc. Never gave any problem when I did it but it had to choose a good race meeting to play up (bit like my ex-wife ).


It has now been removed and Avilec have dis-engaged the imobiliser part of the ECU so it cannot work. They are bench testing it today and we should have it back in the next few days.

Got to say big thanks to Carl Chambers for his help and advice to a 306 newbie ! That bloke has forgotton more than most people know, except for perhaps Seb in Scotland !
