Budget Lotus Evora Pt 6 – Hacking The Immobiliser

1. what was the reason to work on the immobiliser? the key wasn´t from that specific car? just trying to understand. love your channel mate. greetings from portugal

2. My kit car has a start system interlock. With the keyless go you must be in park with your foot on the brake to start the engine but if it’s in park you can start it with the key without your foot on the brakes. This means that you can reach in and start it if you are working on it but you can’t start it from the passengers side from the keyless go.

3. On the lotus fuel pump has two hot leadss one for turn key and the other after ten seconds second one keeps car running fuel pump is on only when turn key Toyota use open circut relay two hot leads then blue wire funds pump full time middle wire run only when key is on so good luck but maybe one sequrity wire for nuetral safty switch h

4. Funny thing is cobra probably spent a small fortune developing that security system and this guy got around it so so easy ?

8. So basically I know how to steal an Evora now. Almost.

9. I know this is late compared to when the video is released, but isn't this engine just the V6 from the Camry SE? so wouldn't a replacement engine be relatively cheap?

10. #youtubemechanics

11. Dang that making some racket! Sounded like the shell of the car was amplifying it.

12. Did you crash it?

13. WHY do people not understand on a FI car pumping the pedal does NOT do anything!

14. Bummed engine sink your cost benefit? Try the trans (and turbos if it has em)….. that's just a run of the mill 4 cyl, If air box broke, check for broke engine mounts…they're weak as f laterally. (hit curb sideways)
    Dudes pumping the throttle with a F.I. car? am I missing something

15. pumps pedal "a little bit of fuel"… Dude its not carbureted

16. Its fuel Injected no pumping of the throttle pedal will ever help.

17. did it go dink when u plugged it in ?

18. There is no throttle pump on a fuel injected car. Just sayin'.

19. Immobiliser lol. Immobilizer?

20. you have no idea what the stuff on your vacuum pump stands for? ~_~
    it's bar or pascal, you didn't really think that Psi was a standard unit of measuring pressure in the world i hope. The imperial system is very rare(about 10% of the world uses it)

21. Could you use an aftermarket radiator and just route new coolant lines?

22. 10:45… don't ever do that (pumping the throttle) to a fuel injected car… ever again… it does absolutely nothing it's not a carb…. and it makes you look supremely unintelligent. It's akin to jump starting a car that cranks fine (full battery) but doesn't start….

23. this guy is a genius

24. Are you a mechanic by trade, or self-taught?
    Also, when will the first run t-shirt be back in stock?

    Love the videos, keep up the great work! 🙂

25. Why did you hack the immobilizer?

26. Inertia switch/ collision switch……ecm keep alive dead………pin 16 is the power pin 12 vdc??

27. Did you put fuel in the car? 😉

28. Nice done

29. try undoing your immobilizer hack and plugging everything back how it's supposed to go to see if you're able to switch from neutral to park

30. Modern Toyotas use what's called CAN (controller area network) Bus. The simplest explanation is that it works a lot like say, ethernet or USB. The loss in communication makes me think that one of those jumper wires shorted out that section of the network. One or both of those jumpers needs to be removed. Quite frankly, i'm surprised you were able to communicate with any module -Go Toyota!- Also, why disable the imobiliser?

31. when you bridged the wires you may have frozen it in gear.

32. Press the brake when putting it in park?

33. at 10:10 is that a spark coming from under the dash?!

34. something that catches me out on longer projects is STALE FUEL. I have a V8 at home that after about 6 months or even slightly less she wont start until the fuel is replaced with fresh stuff.

35. did you turn it off and then turn it back on again?

36. Undo the bridged connection, and pray you can stick it into park. That connection might of thrown a fault code brother!

37. Sounds like it's got no fuel or spark. Since those are two things that are messed up when the anti theft/crash problems happen. Check the fuel pump cutoff (button that clicks on when a hard collision happens.) Anti theft/transmission gear will prevent spark. Same with the neutral safety switch.

    Double check your grounds. First thing to do, they've dicked me on my custom builds and general repairs.

38. unplug the battery overnight , maybe it will reset the tcu or ecu …it shouldn't hurt in any case

39. it not goin into park may be cause that emoblieiser is unpulged

40. The whining you are hearing is from the throttle body not the fuel pump. You should check for power and ground to the fuel pump with a volt meter while cranking. You may have to check for injector pulse as well while cranking. Is the tachometer moving slightly while cranking? Can you post the exact error message in the ECU Pxxxx? Bxxxx?

41. Like someone else said, check to see that you have enough gas.

    Check for an inertia switch on the fuel pump that shuts off fuel in an accident. Fords have them, not sure about Lotus.

    Can you smell raw fuel coming out from the exhaust after cranking it over? If yes, then at least you can rule out a fuel starvation problem.

    Check that the intake or exhaust isn't restricted in some way.

    Check that the crank position/MAF/MAP sensors are intact.

    …and most automatic transmission gear selectors have a neutral safety switch which grounds out the control side of the starter relay. So Park and Neutral act the same way for the starter relay when starting the car.

    Some transmission codes can be reset by disconnecting the battery and clearing the memory. Most cars can be cleared by disconnecting the battery and connecting the positive and negative cables together for 10 minutes.

42. What plastic welder did you use on part 22 of the brz build ?
