You may need to replace the starter and solenoid. My car had the same problem. I just tapped on mine until I could get it replaced the next week. It may have a flat spot. Somehow tapping on it moves it enough to make it turn over.

What does code 26 mean on dash of 2009 holden cruze

GM OBD Trouble Code 26
Quad Driver Module (QDM A) Error The ECM uses "quad drivers" to control its output devices. Each quad driver is capable of controlling up to four devices.
Fault Code Description
  • 26 - Quad Driver Module (QDM A) error
Symptoms
  • Improper operation of an ECM-controlled device
Common Problems
  • Code 26 does not mean there is an internal ECM failure
  • Code 26 can indicate a circuit problem (open or shorted) in one of the devices controlled by QDM A
  • Some diagnostic charts may state which devices are controlled by QDM A. In other cases, it may be necessary to monitor which ECM-controlled devices are operating when the Check Engine Light comes on in order to determine which circuit is causing the problem.

I had a code 26 so i replaced both 02 sensors on my 95 Toyota Camry and the same code keeps comming back

In that car I have code 26 listed as ""Air/fuel ratio rich". The oxygen sensors are listed as 21 or 27.

26 could indeed be caused by a failed oxygen sensor, but it is more likely to be a stuck cold start injector or a failed coolant temperature sensor.

Symptoms of a bad map sensor on 93 cadillac fleetwood brougham

Well code 23 is a faulty signal from the manifold air temp sensor. The sensor is telling the computer the air temp in the intake is out of range compared to the other readings.
Code 26 is a quad driver problem inside the computer.
Code 34 is a MAP sensor signal saying the vacuum is high when it should be low compared to the other sensors.
They may be connected or separate issues. You could check the MAP with a vac gauge.
I would clear the codes and see which ones come back again.
