Is the immobiliser not tied into the ECU which will not allow starting unless it is deactivated?? When my arlam is on or it self arms it will not allow the engine to start.

Yup I got the after market addon kit and wired it inot the alarm module;)

Re: resetting the imobiliser in an mpi mini

Unhooking the battery for a while usually does the trick. If you need to get at it the alarm module is a small black box with two large multi cable connectors going into it. Its in the inside of the car screwed to the bulkhead just uder and too the left of the ash tray ;)
