The petrol light comes on and it seems that although there is petrol in it it is not injecting the petrol.

Hi! My car is quite an old model Nissan Micra - year 2000 and does not have an alarm or immobilizer as far as I know. Just bought the car and was driving okay for a few weeks. So any other suggestions? By the way great website, Very helpful. Much appreciate your help!

Most cars have had security systems since about 1997 so. At least try what it says on link I sent.

Yes, if the chip is worn out then it will not start. You will probably have to have a mechanic scan it with a professional scanner to find the problem.
