I have a Spec Boxster with an odd no-start issue. (cranks but no fire)

I have DME power, but as best I can tell I do not have fuel or spark.

If the immobilizer/dme thinks the car has had an alarm tripped, could it trigger a no start?

If it has -- is there anyway to query the alarm status via the DME?

I have a durametric.

I do not have an alarm module (I think).

I have replaced the DME/IMMOB/KEY with a non-alarm IMMOB version (531? I think),
but thats more by happenstance of the replacement set I acquired.

It didn't change the behavior.


If it matters -- I can start the car if I jump it from another vehicle, as long as I remove the battery from the system (and yes I've gone through 3 batteries).


I'm about at wits end -- and wanted to inquire about how the alarm might come into play -- and/or how it can be observed to rule that out.

thanks,

Mike
