hey guys, i have been runnin in and out of my house all day goin from forums to my car trying to work out why i just wont start, it kicks over well and there is with out a doubt enough power in the battery to start it, having 14V. I saw a few threads sayin give the starter motor a knock with a hammer, or turn my key right to the point before ignition leaving for abit then trying to start, but nothing seems to be working. so could it be starter motor, spark plugs? please help me

Thanks guys :)

Check for codes bridge pins 5&6.
There could be no spark. Check for spark.
If there is no spark it can be the DFI module/CAS or even the EFI relay.
If there is spark the ignition side of things are good.
It could even be a communication failure between the BCM/PCM.
They talk to each other upon start up. The PCM enables the fuel system. Or even the PCM could be playing up

knock the starter with a hammer is only if your starter motor is buggered. if your vehicle turns over does it start then stop or turns over but not start at all? if vehicle turns over then starts then stops immediately you might just have a buggered keyhead battery,if you have a spare key try that. if the vehicle turns over but doesnt start go through the last reply & see what happens.:)

Only way you can get them is to call Holden and give them your arm (or $550.00) Then you gotta get it coded (Another limb)
