Hello

The engine and the automatic transmission in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a filed pump or other pressure related problems.

If you turn the key and you hear the starter cranking the engine but the engine will not start than you need to see if you are missing fuel or spark as a first step. If you turn the key and you can not hear the starter turn the engine over than the first step is to check to make sure there is power on the small wire at the starter with the key in the crank position. If there is power replace the starter. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa
