We need to start with checking codes because I doubt the stability track light is related to the no start.

So, let's start with the no start and if the stability track light remains on, we can get into that.

Depending on what codes are there, we will have a better idea what the issue could be.

However, there are a number of things we need to check for no starts and here are some guides that will get us started with that info:

Clearly if we have codes then that is going to point us in that direction immediately and we may not need to do a lot of this, but we need to check for fuel pressure, spark, and compression.

However, let's start with codes and go from there. Thanks
