holden vz acclaim 2005
So was parked car in car park. Turned off then turned back on as my mrs cant park. Turned back on to fix her parking. Apon returning to the car about a hour later this is what happened.
Key in turned to start and was like no fuel. Wouldn't start. Got some more petrol into it and still nothing. But the noise shifted from the low fuel sound to now just not wanting to start. Lights came on abs at first (but this went away) , svs also came up. But no engine light. There's normaly check power tran on my car but this isn't the case now. Car goes threw checks ok and says ok.
Anyways. Changed fuel pump and filter, changed crank angle sensor, battery in keys, charged battery, tried jump starting, please help I don't know now, I was told car has spark has fuel no blocks in lines .. Maybe injectors is there a way of checking this.. Maybe coils .. How do I check this to.
Car has fuel smell been told just floaded by a few mobile mech and to keep trying but been days now and its not giving even sprayed start ya bastard in ot no good still.. no codes at all come up when scanned too.

Sounds like you have flooded the engine. if so, fully charge your battery, then try again but DO NOT touch or depress the accelerator. If it was flooded it will eventually cough into life, run rough, shake and rattle and possibly expel lots of black smoke/soot from the exhaust. Keep engine running and go for a short drive. All should be good (it it was flooded initially). Good luck.

Very common to have ECU issues with the VZ, presenting symptoms sound like this could be the problem.

Unplug the abs module plug and see if it starts they can fail and tie up the data bus but yes vz can have ecu issues from the heat and vibration of the engine and water ingress into the plugs and pins corrode

Oh ABS as in Auto braking? lol. I had been getting the ABS warning light on an off at times but kinda ignored that as an issue as stupidly assumed "As if brakes" would be the cause

Antilock braking system.the module is in the engine bay with heaps of brake lines going into it and has its own little computer module mounted on it.they can fail and tie up the data bus to the eco and prevent the security from being disabled causicausing no start situation.
