RE: INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS
mike, i reply from there.
at least i got somebody to argue with and share opinion.
they all makes sense, and correct.
but remember that we are only discussing the symptom according to your explanation without the aid of diagnosis.

AAAAAARRRRRRGHHHHHH !!!!
THE USELESS MERC.DEALER HERE IN KENT HAS HAD MY CAR
ALL DAY (6.5 HRS.) AND THEY HAVE JUST TOLD ME -THEY ARE
UNABLE TO FIND A FAULT ??????
I PHONED THEM YESTERDAY WITH THE FEEDBACK & INFO FROM
THIS AND OTHER FORUM AND LEFT PRINTOUTS OF THE INFO FOR
THEM. BUT THEY HAVE WASTED ALL DAMN DAY WITH THE DIAG.COMPUTER
TRYING TO FIND A FAULT ?? - DESPITE THE FACT THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT
SHOW DIAG.FAULTS ? ?
6.5 HOURS @ £90 AN HOUR = £585 (1,000$) FOR SOD ALL ?????
AND THEY ARE STILL CARRYING ON THE SAME WAY ?????

transponder in ignition sitch.
means it cannot recognize the key.
the only questionable behavior is: it stalls while the car is running.
the transponder is just a part of the starting system, and once the car is running, it is not needed anymore.
seems you will lose your £585.

RE: INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS
good idea too.
that will leave you only a few things to suspect, and can have a good spare CPS too for urgent case.
let us know mikeallan. thanks for sharing.

(223$) - which is fair - IF THE CAR WORKS
