Read your manual it says that you have to turn your ignition to the on position and then let it stay there for 3 minutes turn it to the off position for 30 seconds and then start your engine

if your car cranks but would not start. do this. buy a starting fluid. spray the throttle body opening 3 short sprays or to the air cleaner whatever the available set up in your car, then start it. if start then you have a fuel issue problem. it could be the fuel relay, fuel fuse, or fuel pump. if does not start. then check for spark in the ignition.

I have a 2008 Cadillac CTS. My issues is I was driving the car, parked it and all of sudden the car won't start. When I open the hood I notices that the wires was touching the engine and the wires burned out. Now my problem is I'm not sure if the computer went bad on me. I have trying to figured out what is the problem for the past of weeks and still cannot find the issues.
