won't start. Hope it is just a fuse or something but suspect it may be a lot more serious like dead ECU. Any advice will be most welcome.

Thanks.

Default Im going to guess dead battery...

Because my car did something like that one day. I would try to start is and it would slowly go and eventually start.

Is it just me, or are we experiencing a tremendous number of "gremlins" this week?

Default Probably your immobilizer system them..>>

Does it start for 1/2 a second? Key symbol lit on the gauge panel? Try another key. It may need to be resyncronized
