Hey Guys,
My cousin has been having some problems starting with her 2001 VX SS 5.7L Auto.
What happens is she puts the ignition on as normal and waits until the lights go out, then she turns the key and the engine turns over as normal. But at the point where the engine would usually fire up, nothing happens. It stops turning over and it doesn't fire up. Everytime she turns it over the same thing happens. And it turns over pretty quickly as well.
It has a fairly new battery in it that she keeps charged up. I also brought the scan tool from work and checked for codes and there wasn't any.
In my opinion it wont have anything to do with the fuel pump, because the car wont fire up it the first place and like I said, it gets to the point where it would usually fire up then nothing, it goes dead.
Has anyone had a problem like this before? No-one at work can help me and I have been told that she would more then likely have to get it towed to Holden (and the nearest dealer is 30-40kms away).
I am letting her borrow one of my cars for now but we would still like to get the SS going as soon as possible.
Thanks.
EDIT: It is auto not manual.
