Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi I have had my 1600 zafira for 14 months with no problems, then I tried to start the car the engine cranked over three times and stopped, turned the key back tried to start the car again but the engine did not turn over, I locked the car up, went back to the car after 10 minutes and the car started. this problem continues some time the car starts with no problems then I find the car cranks over and stops, so I sit lock the doors retry starting and the car starts up,I have tried two key both have the same problem,engine light stays on the dash panel thanks

could be a fault with the immobiliser in the anti theft system,may need a visit to your main dealer for them to run a diagnstic check.the alarm ecu may just need an update.if not an anti theft fault the diognostic check will pick up what is causing the problem & what system its in

Hi I have taken your advice, went to my vauxhall dealer 1st we had to apply for the vehicle codes before they could up-date the immobiliser,they checked and up-dated the car,tried to start the car and it would not start, they advised me it could be the ABS Ecu is there anyway I can get this checked before I buy one as they did not guarantee this would cure the stating fault thanks man2man
