depends if yours is a AU1 or AU2

the early AU1's had smartlock which worked the same as EF. AU2's had smartshield is a bit more sopisticated with transponder keys and remote alarms

also note that although smartlock worked the same from EBII-AU1 the smartlock modules are not interchangeable between models

mate, smartlock is not a part of the engine. Its only a external electrical compent that works with the ECU.

There is a strong chance that even though you have a AU motor, you are still running the EL ECU and smartlock set up. Unfortunatly i don't think that smartlock is your problem here. Does the light on the dash flash in any funny/abnormal sort of way?

it the ECU that controls interjectors and spark etc

smartlock just "unlocks" the ECU when the key is turned into the on postion
