Hello, I am new to this page.

I am the proud new owner of a 2001 boxter 2.7-
This car was left in a garage for 2 years and used as a storage shelf. I am trying to bring it back to life.

The car was dead with no battery, flat tires and an inch of dust. after cleaning it up and installing a new battery I have been able to turn the key some of the time and get all power to the car lights, dash, doors trunk ext. The issue is (YEP) no start or crank.

I did the start relay bypass and was able to get the engine to crank clean over and over. (Without) the bypass I have nothing but lights on the dash.... fuel pump was also bypassed to test and the fuel pump and that works as well.

Is this an issue with the immobilizer or computer or???

The key remote also will not open doors or function other then red light flash on remote,

Any help would be great ...
