hey everyone,

my EP3 has been acting strange recently, where the car is being driven at low speeds (20-40km) then the car is just completely dying.

if i try to start up again it will just wont tick over..

have to click the immobiliser remote a couple of times, then it lets me start up again.

anyone had this issue before, and If so.. can offer any sort of advice on it.

Thanks heaps

That's the problem mate. My auto watch alarm was killing my engine at 60kms while I was nex to trucks... Of turning corners. Lol. I just replaced my alarm and disabled my factory immobilizer


Your car doesn't start up sometimes aye?
