Answer

This could be caused by a few problems such as wiring, ECU, or security settings. This is a complex problem that you would want to bring the vehicle to the dealership so they could monitor settings, modules, and alarm switches with scantool to see which one is causing the problem. Check to see if you have spark if you have spark and fuel then you are lacking compression and do a compression test. Compression should be about 160 psi. Here is a article to describe the alarm system, let me know if you have questions. Thanks

it had good compression when running and just parked. i am pretty sure it might be in the key to passive disable coil system. i will have to try the door locking trick tomorrow. will the articals be in my e-mail to review? thank you

the cam sensor would be my next guess too. the local rover shop in Fife, wa. was not much help when i called them with the code, i had them do a ton of warranty work sometime back and you would think they might give me a "could be" thank you

The crankshaft position sensor would be the next problem to check and to test that you would use a voltmeter and check for ac voltage while cranking but we can work on that tomorrow if we figure out that the security system is not the cause. Thanks again and let me know what you find out.

hi dan, it was not the security syncronization. i used the code in the door lock and then tried the ignition. i used a timing lite to check for spark on both sides and had none. would the 1667 code just be a general code if there is no ignition present? i did notice some slight discoloration in the fuse block under the hood near the hvac relays. i changed around some of the yellow ones thinking i would find a bad one on the engine lighting bolt symbols, nothing changed. where would i check the voltage for the cam pos. sensor and what should it be while cranking? is it possible the passive disabeling coil went out?

My database with my info is giving me problems right now. I'll check it again tomorrow and get back to you. Since you are getting the code 1667 means you have a problem with the security sytem otherwise that code would not be set. I'll let you know what I find tomorrow, thanks.

Hi Dan, i have checked for some loose ground wires under the hood and the right rear wheel well cover. would it be a bad idea to place a jumper between the terminals on the switch where the key triggers the ignition when inserted? the remote does work for locking & unlocking. thanks
