Immobilizer problem

[oneblueleg]

It's one that you put a fob thing into a slot next to the ignition key slot and hold for a couple of seconds, till the led stops flashing, only then can you start the car. Ok, till the car keeps dying randomly for no reason... when this happens in traffic, you have to remove the key, insert the immolizer fob, wait, reinsert key and only then drive off... trouble is, once when this happened, the steering lock came on ... anyone had this? how annoying do you find these immobilizers... can they be easily by-passed?

See my reply to "removing alarm" thread for where imobilizer SHOULD be connected.
