Hi guys thought id see if anyone could give some helpful advice on my dead 6.

So this morning on my home from the shop driving along a completly flat straight road the car suddenly hesitated massively as if the car had just ran out of fuel but the engine was running still, i pumped the throttle pedal and it suddenly caught back up with the revs like it had sprung back to itself, then almost instantly after that the engine completly died.

now at this point im coasting along the road, tried to start the car again and it just cranked over but wouldn't fire. Came to a stop and i turned the car off completly and turned the ignition back on again and the alarm beeped and flashed the lights (dosent ever do this when i turn the ignition on) and turned the key and it just cranked and at one point sounded like it was going to fire, almost as if what fuel was in the rail had been used then just was cranking over.

Then i had a fun walk home with the 6 in the rain till i pushed it back to my house. Left it for a couple of hours as the battery had ran out of enough juice to turn the engine over from where i had been frantically tying to start it. As i waited for my brother to come over with jump leads, now we connected the jump leads and the alarm flashed but when i pressed the button on the fob it didnt lock or unlock the doors would just flash the light and beep, tried starting the engine and it just turned over and wouldnt start. Then the lights started flashing and the alarm would beep and make sounds. Now im sure that the problem is the immobiliser is cutting the signal to the fuel bump and i guess thats why its not starting as its not getting fuel. A previous owner has fitted a stupid Toad alarm but it still has the standard peugeot one too as i have been able to lock and unlock the car from the peugeot key, but earlier neither key or toad fob were doing anything.

Does this sound like it could be the culprit, and if so how do i go about getting rid of the bas**rd alarm altogether as i really dont need it, as long as i can unlock the door with the key and start the engine thats all i care about.

Any help would be much appreciated, as i need the car for work tomorrow. p.s. sorry for the long winded story but gives the best picture lol

Yeh im 99% sure its the toad, that things been a ball ache since iv had the car. couple of friends have said get rid of the toad too as they reckon it is probably messing wth the standard working peugeot alarm.

Next problem iv got is that im really not sure or confident in how to remove the toad alarm. Im a little afraid of completly locking myself out of the car.

yeh good point, don't really have that to spend at the minute. But iv just traced some wires that are for the toad and the toad box seems to be tucked properly far away under the steering colum, but i noticed behind the fuse box they have squeezed in a f**kload of wires wraped with odd bits of black electrical tape, and the electrical tape really shows a top quality job lol

But tomorrow after work in the day light il pull apart some more bits and see if i can trace the toad wires to the peugeot ones, and as they seem to be joined by electrical tape i bet it was a twisty wire job lol

If the wires are twisted more likely to be a basic home fit and its more likely to be that one has simpley come undone

Id still get rid before it melts something

How would i go about checking the live connections to the battery and fusebox?

If you battery is flat as in no power at all ithe pump wont prime
Take out your battery charge it overnight
Without power your not gonna be able to figure out much !

so iv removed a fair amount of the toad wiring and had the battery disconnected and now im able to unlock/lock the doors with the central locking with the peugeot key. but when i turm the ignition on a still cant hear the fuel pump primimg or any sound at all. but theres still some more toad wiring down by the pdals to remove, so hopefully that will sort it.

No pump prime means either ecu is locked out or fuel pump relay behind the battery box is faulty

I really hope that the ecu isnt locked, because if it is, is there a way to unlock it. or would i need to get another one?

well iv had a quick look earlier, but didnt spend too long as its p**sing it down outside, but iv got to the last of the toad wiring i think under the steering colum and have follwed a few wires, bunched together that are tucked down next to the bonnet latch release and they must follow that out into the engine bay, which my guess is one of the wires goes somewhere in the bay for power but i also wondered whether they would have been able to attatch one of the wires to something to stop the fuel pump getting power? How would i check if the relay is faulty? or is it a case i just need a new one?

battery has full power while iv tried turning the car on and starting, its cranking and i can open the doors via the central locking on the peugeot key which it didnt do before so iv done something right lol

OK guys iv removed all of the wiring for the Toad alarm, so the whole system is now out off the car, but it still won't start or the fuel pump coming on. Iv tried bridging the fuel pump relay but still no pump coming on. Every now and then the lights start flashing as iv got the door open and im in the car and the lights go off when i turn the ignition on but no matter how many times i push the central locking button on the key it won't stop the lights flashing, which i presume thats the peugeot alarm??

But im pretty much out of ideas now. Also don't know what relivence this has but the electric windows won't work or the dial lights but the head lights come on and the interior light and the electric mirrors still work, which massively confusses me.

Is it a case now that i might need to get an unlocked ECU?

Yeh but the strange thing is just a second ago when i did press the button on the key it locked the doors and yeh the siren is dead thats probably why the toad was fitted.

Well im hoping iv bridged it properly, found a FAQ on here that said point 5 and 8 with a wire between then turn the ignition on. But nothing happened. the inertia switch is de-activated by pushing it down dosen't it? But im just confused as the car was driving perfectly fine, went up a hill and then when i was on the flat road the engine just cut out. Im sure iv checked the right fuses under the dash. are there fuses else where that i need to check?

Thats last bit im an idiot iv unplugged the dimmer light switch to get at the toad box so yeh thats why that bit aint working

Manually check the fuel pump, apply 12v to terminals on pump under rear bench seat to ensure that it does actually work.
