    Guys,
    I'm planning to install an immobilizer that I want to use in order to turn the starter to fill the oil, but without starting the engine. I meant 3-4 weeks of car stop.
    Do you have any idea what I could cut off? I thought about fuel injections, but I wonder if the computer displays errors?

    Thanks K

    Define a long stop? 3-4 weeks is a maintenance downtime. It'll be fine.

    I don't get why you need to install a special immobilizer here. Maybe this doesn't work on a 355, but on my 993 you can just pull the DME relay, crank the engine over until you see oil pressure, plug the relay back in, and fire up the car.

    Attach a remote starter button to your starter motor. Use it with the ignition off (and out of gear of course)

    Disconnect the small plug and attach one of the leads to the pin on the starter, then attach the other lead to the big terminal. Push button.

    I guess the equivalent (F355 5.2) relay would be the passenger footwell "M" relay. This will kill the fuel pump and ignitors (and a bunch of other things), but I don't know if this will latch any fault messages in the ECU. My car recently latched a fuel pump relay message (no CEL) after a long period of inactivity.
