EDIT : Fixed, The car randomly started working. I just left it there for about 2-3 hours after my last try at starting it.
Hey guys, new to the forum but I do read around.
I got a Lancer SX 2011 but I got a problem in the block 3 months ago, I switched out the engine and replaced it with the same engine 4b11. After that was done I put the fluids in and started it. Work great! No Errors and no leaks, Ran fine. I let it idle for about 1 hour and all is good. Took it for about a 4km drive then returned back to the house. I shut it off and just the Oil and water levels and all was well. I went to start it again and no go.
All I get is a couple of clicks in the engine when going to "ACC" then I hear the fuel pump running at the back, however nothing from the engine bay.
I did try to the start the car with a flat key. My mistake I didn't realize when I did this. (Had both my keys with me) I have been trying to start it with the Spare key which works great.
What I done:
Pulled out starter motor and tested it. - Works
Did voltage drop test - wasn't helping when the car doesn't even try to turn over.
Battery Voltage test - 12.78v
Replaced batteries for both keys
Tested and checked all fuses
Hand cranked the engine - turns freely, Works well.
Checked all wires and connections
did a test on the Trigger wire for the starter motor - No power is going through when trying to start the car, but I hooked up a clip and sent power through to see if the starter can work.
Friend sits in the car, holding the key in start while I hit the starter motor with power - Cranks over just perfect but no start.
all that happens, Turn key to start > Hear a pump going > Engine doesn't even turn over.
I have come to a brick wall and can not figure this out. I Called Mitsubishi and they don't even know. Called some auto electricians and tuning shops and they really don't know. every one keeps saying immobiliser is stopping the car from starting but it's not hard to find out right now. A guy has said reprogramming the ecu may work.
I have come down to the point I may just have to get a tractrix cable to just bit change the immobiliser from 1 to 0 but I can't find any thread explaining it can/would work on the es/sx/vr/vrx lancers.
Any help would be great. I may have made a few mistakes in this write up.
