Hi guys have a 1990 ford escort 1.3 and all of a sudden stopped running, engine turns but doesn’t start, stupid question but I assume the small red square at the top is an immobiliser? This red key doesn’t work, my usual black one seems to be missing this ‘immobiliser’ if this is the cause of the issue how/ where would I go about getting one?!  |

I'm pretty sure that the pats immoboliser prevents cranking so this can't be your issue, there should be a flashing led on the dash which if memory serves me correctly stops flashing when immoboliser is deactivated.

Are you sure it's 1990? I'm pretty sure the MkIVs didn't have an immobiliser and that it was an introduction for later MkVs.
As said, with a PATS system, the engine won't even turn over if the immobiliser can't sense the chip in the key.
