Omega General Help / auto gear box

« on: 05 March 2009, 11:40:34 »

hi

I have had this problem for a while and want some more advis please.
When pulling away in D the auto gearbox message comes on the display.
If i manually do this in 2 or 3rd it will pull away slowly as expected. Does this point to a fault selector sensor, low auto fluid, or dis pack problem?

I have checked all sensors are connected, fuses etc, would the auto ecu also cause this issue.

paperclip test shows only 12 and 31 so nothing reported.

Omega General Help / Can only select reverse

« on: 23 January 2009, 14:44:40 »

Hi All
I have today only got the option to select reverse gear on my autobox. It will go into all other but when trying to drive the car doesnt move and the automatic gearbox warning comes on the MID.

Firstly, is this a failed box, or is this a sensor or something else i could check?

All advise appreciated.

Can anyone point me to a link or pics on how to blank the EGR. I have read several threads that say this can be done. looking at the EGR on the V6, is it a matter of disconnecting the connector or what, please advise.

Omega General Help / MAF or Connector

« on: 26 November 2008, 19:03:22 »

I have recently had a MAF problem on my v6 2.5 omega. I was wondering if the connector itself is faulty, are there any wires in the connector that are prone to fail?

Is there a way to tell. I have had the usual 73, 74 codes and i am awaiting a replacement, however any tips on this little bugger would be appreciated.

Omega General Help / MAF

« on: 22 November 2008, 18:02:45 »

ongoing issue. I have today checked all breathers and no leaks. I start the car with the MAF disconnected and it is okay, connect the MAF and it will eventually die, idles poorly.
Is it possible that one of the wires in the connector is knackered and not the MAF itself?

Also i noticed that one of the tubes connected to a box at the bottom of the air tube (the tube that runs down from the MAF, there is a oval type black box with 2 tubes). What does this do?

Is it okay to drive the car with the MAF disconnected? Will this cause any pressure on the engine?

Omega General Help / Cleaning MAF

« on: 20 November 2008, 12:44:38 »

As posted yesterday, i have done the paperclip test and got the 74, 73 error codes.
Now is it possible to clean the MAF or do i need to replace it. Stillnot sure if this is an intermittent problem or one that needs fixing perm.
Would the cranks sensor throw up these fault codes as well, or have past posts i have read been incorrect.

Omega General Help / sh*t

« on: 19 November 2008, 19:40:25 »

Broke down on way home tonight.
Called the RAC, error codes 73,74 came up.
The car is running like a bag of spanners, sounds like a bad misfire.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience in getting this fixed. It points to air flow etc

All help would be grateful.
The car basically looses power and maybe someone out there has had the same problem.

Many thanks

Laurie
