engine managementMy engine management light flashed when i try to start the car and it cuts the engine off?

i ahve a n reg vauxhall vectra for weeks now the engine management light comes on then goes off but today i went to start the car and it was flashing it would hardly start when it did start it cut off and just kept cutting off. i cant start it properly. why is this happening?
afraid you have to contact a vauxhall dealer...this is telling you you have a problem which can seriously affect the car engine and workings,or fuel injection abs braking failure or something major,
the caengine managementr when this activates retains memory in a chip in the vehicle,the dealer plugs in a lead and reads off on a computer the remembered details of the exact cause of the fault so it can be rectified.
it may be intermittent but you dont need engine failure when you are in the middle of nowhere,
please see your dealer
Could be the immobiliser, if it has one, or something more fundamental that's wrong. It's helpfully telling you there's a problem, (which you already know!). You need toengine management get it to garage that can read the computer codes and decipher what the problem is.

That's progress for you . . .
Do you have a alarm system on your vehicle? Maybe the chip in your key is bad or going bad or the alarm is not resetting properly. Good luck.
Is it a diesel if so normally its a glow plug gone down or the big metal relay i had this on a vectra if not its your immobilser problem stopping your fuel in the pump i have a code reader if your in kent
