My Holden commodore isn't starting

[quinton77]

Hello everyone,

So here's what I know, I was driving and it was blurting and gargling and it ran out of fuel, now it's turning over but not starting. Leading up to today it would turn over and start up before occasionally dying out, but would always start with some revs.

I've tried jump starting it after refueling it and I've gotten the same result, all I hear when turning the key is the fuel pump clicking and the engine turning over.

I'm not really a car person per-say as I only know the basics but I'd appreciate any help, thankyou

Fairly common for the CAS to fail in these.

Have you looked at your fuel pump relay?

Just reread, fuel pump clicking? Yeah like Lex said swap the relay. If that doesn't help fuel pump is probably fucked. Try tapping the tank with a broom handle while someone turns the key. If it starts with a tap then definitely a pump issue.
