Good idea. I had a fault with the solenoid immobiliser and found out
through processes of elimination by squirting easy start to fire it up. Had
to drill out the security bolts to get to solenoid to bypass the
immobiliser.

there is some immobiliser fault whereby you take the outer cover off and
clean the contacts or resolder them or something like that, so someone was
telling me.
