Hey all!
Hope someone here can help me.
I have a problem with my VX Commodore. It only has 70000kms on it.
When i try to start it after not driving it for a day, i put the key in turn it and nothing happens. The radio turns on, ignition lights light up etc but the car wont even attempt to kick over. Sometimes if i hold the key for around 30secs it will start fine, but other times nothing. I got out last time and riggled the battery terminals and it started when i couldnt get it going, so i ended up changing the battery terminal leads (also cleaned them to make sure there was contact) This hasnt helped the problem. It only happens when i havent dirven the car for a while (like 12 hours or so). After i get it started i can turn it off and start it again no problems at all. Seems like the problem only occurs when the car is cold or not started for a while. Not sure what to look at. The battery/leads/coils/starter motor/key. It confusing the hell out of me. I tried using a different key which worked but then started having the same problem as well. (they could both be on their way out but not to sure dont want to go buy a new one for no reason). Hoping someone from here can help me please!!!! does anyone know how to fix this/ is it a common problem. My battery has a strength signal whihc is green so i think its ok but dont know??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
Thanks alot!!
