Hello everyone.
I'm currently stripping a 306 to use as a light contact banger racing car. I have gutted the interior being carefull not to remove any essential wiring but I left the key in the ignition when I pulled the dash out and managed to bend it and now it won't start. It turns over and I can hear the fuel pump, there is also pressure at the fuel rail but I think it is immobilised as there doesn't seem to be a spark.
So I have a few questions,
1. There is no battery in the key, will I need to replace this to start the car as the battery has been disconnected?
2. Is the key matched to the ecu and the halo is just a receiver or do they all need to match?
3. Any idea which wires I can do without on the ecu? I should really remove as much as possible and just need enough to run the engine.
Any help greatly appreciated, even better if you are local to north wales and wouldn't mind taking a look for me I can offer a few beer tokens. There are a few bits and bobs I have removed you are welcome to, blue bumpers, lights, parcel shelf with hidden speakers, side glass etc.
Thanks.
