Wierd Electrical Problem

[shaunvlc]

ok guys, this is my problem, it occured after i changed the batteries in my alarm remote control. They died so i drove it to the shop and chucked new ones in then this:

I unlock the car, put the key in the ignition, turn to start and nothing, normally it would start but all the electrics come on and it just merely wont allow the engine to turn over.

All of the warning lights eg. Hicas, oil, etc come on except for the cat sensor? (the light that shows what looks to be a cat with heat coming off it) this comes on when i turn the key to start the car and back off when i leave it at ignition. Im not sure if this could be related but i think maybe the sensor after the cat may be blocked as my old cat converter was cactus and had baiscally disintergrated in the exhaust leaving this crappy grey dust stuff in there. I think it has clogged the sensor. Im not sure.

Anyone had anything similar happen? It starts occasionally however if i turn the car off then go to start it again this will occur 90 percent of the time. So pretty much its to risky to drive somewhere encase it wont start.

Any ideas guys?

Just don't turn off your car!

Open up the manual for your alarm and see if there is a way to re-connect the remote. It might be called 'remote pairing' or 'remote synchronizing'. I haven't seen any intermittent problems like this. But my S14 remotes would stop working if the batteries went flat and I didn't change them right away.

(You might get better answers in the alarm section.)
