Kernow krusty Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hi all. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Parked up my totally standard P plate Auto Starlet Sportif a year ago, now eldest son is back from uni and needs wheels...what's better than the Starlet...except I've lost the key...FFS. So, I've got into it, stripped out the ignition barrel and find it starts and runs for few secs then stops. by the way, after 12 months, first turn... I know this sounds dodgy as fluck, but I just want to get it on the road. I'm an electronic engineer, so can read a cct diagram...I see the sensors on ignition barrel and transponder ECU and the amp box on the ignition barrel...jeez Mr Toyota, is that where all the budget went ! Any suggestions on bypass the immobiliser please ? Or anyone got a ignition barrel and key to sell? EP 91...4e -fe engine...or a wiring diagram so I can have a go? Cheers in advance .

akyakapotter Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Sure UK versions have an immobilizer and the keys have a chip in them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SKINY Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Could try order one from Toyota, I've 4 Toyota keys for my GT including the original central locking key Or you could get a key set from a breaker complete with the chip box Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kernow krusty Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Hi, update ... Found a local locksmith, GB Locksmiths, very good guy , Spencer. He turned up, used the boot key barrel to cut a new key, then replaced the EPROM chip on the transponder ECU PCB. Programmed two keys...all sorted! All from the back of his Hiace ..£140. So...MOT time...I was wrong, Gerald had been parked up for two years... So... failures....4 tyres (perished) and a front sidelight bulb....that was it! Advisory on rusty discs, which I'll change anyway... So look out of a metallic green P plate Starlet around south east Cornwall ...yeet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SKINY Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 That's a decent price bud, regarding the discs, if they are just surface rust and not badly worn a light sand will do them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
