Hi,I am having trouble getting my 4ltr el fairmont started.It cut out while I was driving the other day and I havent been able to start it since.It turns over and wants to go but as soon as you back the key off it dies.I have checked the spark and the fuel pump,they are ok.It seems like the smart lock has activated.I did the 30 min thing with the key on to override the immobiliser,but it still wont go.Has anyone got any ideas of what the problem would be.

Check your interior light fuse. If it is blown smart lock is activated.
After that, check for spark and injector signal, as it could be your TFI module or coil. |

The interior light fuse is ok,that crosses the smartlock off the list.I will try the injector plug test.Waggen,we are in the same boat.Im hating my car too.I should`ve listened to the other half when he said to get rid of it.Cheers for the tips guys,will keep ya posted.
