Get your spare key and use it to start. If it starts, the key that cannot be used for starting has to replaced/reprogrammed. Don't forget to come back and rate my post.

SOURCE: immobilizer

If there is a blinking car icon with an "X" over it. This icon means the Immobilizer has been activated and hence won't allow the car to start. It could be due to a bad SCU, Start Control Unit. The SCU is actually the ignition switch on these cars.
Most of the time it's triggered by the anti-theft system..You can try this trick i learned that the dealers won't tell you...try locking and unlocking of the doors five times with the remote to reset the immobilizer and see if this helps.
Good luck..i hope this helps...please take a minute to rate me a fixya.

SOURCE: Engine immobilizer system problem

you really need the dealer for this one. car is too new and should be under warrenty. This should not of happen. Most likely you have a computer issue with codes stored that will direct the technician in fixing this.

Proton Savvy turns over but will not start?
I'm assuming when you say "converter" your referring to the catalytic converter (Cat)? Sadly in modern vehicles doing a "Straight Swop" on a transmission isn't that simple. Your vehicle's engine and transmission electronics are set up for an Automatic transmission. It will have some sensors that a manual doesn't have and not have other sensors a manual does need.
Did you have the vehicle's ECU, (brain), reprogrammed to work with a manual transmission. If you didn't the ECU will be getting confused signals which can put it into some sort of 'Safe' setting.
Removing (Deleting) the Cat can also cause issues.
The Muffler and the Audio kit shouldn't affect the engine unless there's been a mistake wiring in behind the head unit.

Where is the immobilizer location on a 2006 range Rover sport
The immobilizer stays active until you actually try to start. To start (and turn the immobilizer off) the key needs to be in the ignition, the code in the fob read by the security system and the ignition switched to start - this is when the immobilzer LED goes off.

If the car was unlocked and had the correct key the car would still not start unless the key was attached to the correct fob.

How can you bypass an antitheft system on a 2002 tdi jetta?
If it is not a new key fob, it sounds to me like the immobilizer is activated. So, all the lights on the dash are working now? Is there a flashing key on the dash lights? One of the resets that works is put the key fob in, and turn ignition on without starting it, and leave it 15 minutes. And try again.

Immobilzer problem proton gen2
The ignition key holds a sort of RFID chip. If you open it to change remote control battery or you dropped it to pieces and the chip comes off, you will not be able to start your car. Get your spare key and use it to start. The key that cannot be used to start has to be replaced/reprogrammed.

Locking mechanism is broken on driver's door.
If the valet key is not programmed to the Immobilzer system, it should start the car, but it will shut off. This is only if the car has an Immobilizer system. If your locksmith unlocked the car without the door key, then use the key to unlock and disarm the alarm in the door. If you triggered the alarm, the starter will be disabled till a unlock signal from a remote or the door is actually unlocked with a key. If that cannot be done, your only solution right now is to tow it to the dealership and have them make a master key and check the door locks for proper lock/unlock commands so the alarm will arm and disarm correctly.
