    hi mate pllllls help me plss
    i have holden vz 2006 5.7 V8
    This problem occurred suddenly and without any reason and I did not do anything to the car,, And when it happened, it became difficult to start the car, as you will see in the video in the link,,, And when the car is running, the fuel indicator meter does not work, the engine temperature indicator meter does not work, and the cruise control does not work,,Also the air conditioner is not working,,, I drove my car to several electricians, but no one knows why,, One of the electricians gave electricity directly from the battery to the starter, and the car started quickly and without any problem,,,Then he gave electricity directly from the battery to the compressor, then it started,, And they are all exposed on all fuses and relays everything is woring good,,, Relays and fuses have been replaced and the same problem has not changed,,They all checked the ground wires and they are all good,,,important note
    The car's fans are working very normally and also the petrol pump is working normally, the problem is only in the difficulty of starting the engine and also the fuel indicator and the temperature of the engine and the air conditioner and the cruise control, all of them happened at the same time
    instagram.com/p/CqJhnKNOFY8/ this is the video of my car turn on the sound, I connected a wire from the relay to the negative of the battery to be able to start the car

      I don't know your level of knowledge and skill. So many things can cause a no start. But start with spray some start ya bastard into the air intake and crank to see if it tend to start. If it does you have two issue. Injector not turning on or fuel pump. Now you do need a test light at least to check injector. If it's a 3.6 litre then injectors are under the manifold but the wiring plug is at accessible at the rear of engine but you need to know what you checking. Same with the fuel pump, you need to get to pump and check for power and ground as someone is cranking.
