    Please help. '02 ute continually fails to start. Have had 2 crank angle sensors replaced, the key heads reprogrammed, the ignition contacts on the steering column replaced, a relay replaced. It starts for a few days and everything seems okay then it fails to kick over. Plenty of battery life and all dash lights come on. Have had it towed to Holden service centers twice and I am over it. I am at a complete loss. Can someone please help. Cheers

    Not loose wire to starter motor?
    Replace the slip key reader around your ignition barrel and MAKE SURE that the little metal bit next to the actual key is making contact with the slip reader.

    Re your help

    Thanks mate. I did all that with the ignition plate, etc., and no good. I am replacing the solenoid today as it seems dodgy and will see what transpires from that. cheers
