Default Car keeps dying. Please help

Hi. My car keeps dying whilst driving and then takes 5 or 10 minutes to start again, it loses all power while driving and the green key light flickers for a few seconds.

I have a clifford concept 300 alarm if that helps. Thanks in advance

Sounds like an immobiliser issue. Call Clifford.

If its flashing the key then its something to do with the ignition so my guess would be immobilizer, check the wiring to it but failing that call clifford.

The green key flashed for about 2 or 3 seconds, I've just gone and got a new battery for the car as it was pretty old, I was thinking about a new key fob battery. Could be worth a try.

Thanks for the replies
