[martybelfastt5]

ok have had a freind on to me tonight about his t5r member here>rogie123<not my car,,its been off the road maybe a year gul 855 t5r the original engine was replaced recently and now no spark all his ancilliries ect, have been reading some threads similar and how to start fault finding for this ,,,tho as it was off the road with no battery in the car and the fob isnt working,so wouild this cause no spark? ie immobiliser??

Gul 855 were made in the 1996 or earlier, might not have any immo. Only later years models came with it (I could be wrong as my T5 is the way I described it).

You mentioned the engine has been replaced and it ran after that or the non-start issue was after the replacement ? I would go for the Crank position sensor and Cam position sensor first.

Both have been replaced

Hard to say with a replacement engine but did you check if there's a rotor inside the distributor cap ? If there is, how's the condition ? Remember that the center piece of the distributor is touching the rotor, see if it's stuck or damaged.

all these things have been checked and mostly replaced im going to start with power to the coil and work forward tho my original question is would the fob not being programmed to the car cause it to be immmobilised? someone has told him the car needs recoding at volvo,tho if im right there is no chip in the 850 key therfore the immob is all part of alarm and the fob? so am i right thinking it could be as simple as this ? or at least start here and move on?
on the above post is it only obd11 that have immobilsers?

possible ignition module,
bolted on the inner wing behind the n/s headlight,

been replaced stealth the car hasnt had a battery in it for over 8 months

[t5 stealth]

have you tried to recode the remote,
you can do it manually,there is a thread on here somewhere how to do it,
im assuming the ecu is the original one,from the original engine,i dont know if ecu is dedicated to the original engine ? i dont think it will be,but im sure someone will know,

Are the batteries flat in the fob/remote?

[martybelfastt5]

havent got at the car yet but when he was explaining this its the first thing i though of,can reprogamme the fobs done it a few times could it be as simple as the the fob tho?

[martybelfastt5]

fob programmed isnt that,,its getting power to the coil but nothing coming from it,two different working coils tryed no difference,also check the ecu in my car not that either,i am convinced its down to somthing pluuged in wrong
