Default Re: H3 wont start. Stay tuned

Hi All,
I'm new to the forum but have experienced intermittent starting problems as previously described. It's taken a little while to work out as the dealer couldn't replicate it or find any codes on the onboard computer. However, after trial and error I have found the engine immobilizer to be the culprit (If it won't start leave it for ten minutes and try again). According to the dealer this is a completely separate system so doesn't show up when they run normal diagnostics.
Next time the engine fails to start, check whether the padlock symbol is flashing on the dash.
Jd
