That thing in your hand is the antenna for immobiliser, where is the key?

[lukey4x4]

I bought a immo and a key off a guy on here who programmed them to my ecu , av tried putting key through that ring but does the same ,

Have you wired up the Check Engine Light? it was probably me that supplied the immo but I don't remember which ECU you have what is the part number?

[lukey4x4]

Yea mate it was you didnt realise there , i have no clocks in mate not sure about engine check light what is it

That's a 4u2 ECU.
The Check Engine Light lets you pull fault codes, you can wire up a temporary one with a small bulb or LED (with resistor). On the Vit there was a six-way connector under the bonnet near the driver's side headlight, you need to place a jumper in that to get the CEL to flash the fault codes. You'll have to crank for at least 15secs to check for a cam sensor failure.

Yes there should be at least one wire there, from the distributor to the bulkhead.
