Hoping someone can help.
I have a intermittent starting problem with my VZ Commodore 3.6 Auto, where the starter is inhibited.
This occures after the fuel gauge needle drops from an actual reading to wrongly empty. It usually occures after being stopped on a slope.
The warning system produces the following messages: Very Low Fuel; Fuel Guage Error; Contact Dealer; Service Soon; TRAC OFF;Distance to Empty = 0; Remaining = 10ltr.
When this happens I turn the ignition & start to on but there is no start, as instructed by NRMA I remove then bridge the Starter Relay with a wire, this fires the starter motor, I then return the relay to its slot & close the bonnet.
Over the last three months I have bridged relay my self 7 times, had NRMA attend & restart 3 times, taken it to Auto Elec twice, Holden service once. Appart from NRMA none of these had problem occure while they had the vehicle for days and did not fix the problem. Also the gear selector inhibitor & two relays have been replaced & NRMA tested battery each time for OK.
Can anyone offer advise on what is wrong & how to fix it?
