double check your immobilizer "fix" but...

9/10 times its the ignition module. dinosaur style technology inside the old ones, get a refurbished one with updated transistors. might not be your problem but its pretty common for those ignition modules to fail....

read the auction info for an explanation

Ignition switch supplies 12 volts through fuse #11 to pink wire which then goes all over the joint including coil (+) and EFI relay. If no 12 volts on this pink wire then not much is going to happen.

when you say no fuel do you mean your fuel pump is dead or your injectors are dead....
