Coil-engine immobilizer

I'm looking for information on this parts the reference is AMR 4897. Can it break down? and what are the symptoms?

I can't find a store that sells it or can I buy this part?

It's probably the most reliable component in a fairly unreliable immobiliser system.

I was asking because I have intermittent starting problem. when i switch off the ignition and want to start, the engine cranks a little and then stops. if I restart immediately afterwards, it does not even start the engine, but if I switch off the ignition wait a bit ts reviving the engine a bit. I did this several times and after a while I quit. the next day the vehicle restarts normally.it works for a few days and the problem comes back.

If I understand correctly from your description, I had a similar problem.

When I turned the key the car started, but stopped after a few seconds. I must have tried starting the car for 30 mins, and always the same result. In the end my wife gave it a try, and she noticed that if she let go of the key very slowly and gently the engine kept running.

The problem was in the ignition barrel, the contacts needed a cleaning, still use the same part two years later, ie. if you're lucky the problem might not have anything to do with the immobilizer

This would not be typical of a faulty coil.

The transponder coil creates a magnetic field that that excites a coil with in Rf handset this causes the Rf handset to transit a remobilisation code to the 10AS

Coil is only energised when ignition switch is turned to the ignition position and the engine is immobilised

OK, it could be a faulty link due to the instrument pack soldering failing. The alarm unit is allowing the starter to crank, but the ECU is not receiving the immobiliser signal.

I had seen the trick of making a bridge between 3 and 4, I have not yet tried.

is this normal if I switch off the ignition, leave the key on it and go out and close the door. and like I go back 10 minutes to see 1 hour later.

I put the ignition on and the engine cuts I must unlocked with the plip to restart?
