Have you tried running a scan tool to see if its thrown any codes?

I've misplaced my cheapo Holden Scan tool - so have just bought an ELM327 bluetooth OBDII reader... just figuring out how it works and the best software to use. I'll go and try it shortly.

Ok, so this might be my shitty little ELM327 adapter or the software im (OBD Auto Doctor Free on Windows) using but i dont seem to be able to query or view the Engine Management Controller or DME or whatever its called.

I can see the Transmission and Fuel Pump but nothing else!

Also I can hear what I think is the fuel pump running in the rear somewhere when the ignition is on.

Heres what happens when i turn the key https://www.dropbox.com/s/8wcz5dl2ajj9qu6/IMG_2583.MOV?dl=0

I've visually checked all the fuses in the engine bay. Does anyone know where i should be checking to see if the ECU has power?

What comes up if you click on 'Trouble codes'?

Know nothing about that software, can you find another program to try?
