    Hello guys!

    I'm in Brazil, I have an Omega 2008 (VE COMMODORE) and he is not giving the match. The lights work, turn the key and just hear a crack of the engine, and it does not catch.

    I tested the battery, starter and fuses and found nothing wrong.

    Any ideas?

    Does it crank over or nothing?

    Try another battery, it can show good volts and still be bad.

    Yep, more info needed.

    When you turn the key, what happens exactly?
    Does the starter motor turn and crank the engine? Or does it just make a clicking noise and the engine doesnt turn?
    Is it "almost" starting, or not even cranking?

    Im sure you have already but just to make sure have you checked the inside fuse box in the front passenger side foot well ?

    one of the 2 amp fuses has gone in mine before and I couldn't start it.

    sounds like a cranking sensor by the (front pulley) ? you may need to try a scan tool to get a fault code from it

    When you turn the key, I hear a "click" of the engine, and there is no match. But the starter motor operates normally

    Hi guys!
    I have news, but not so good.

    My Omega is the authorized dealer of GM here in Sao Paulo / Brazil. Apparently the problem is the immobilizer. Was changed, but does not perform programming of keys. Does anyone have any suggestions?
