1999 Omega Elite 2962cc.
« on: 25 March 2010, 14:52:09 »
This car runs lumpy on tick over. Runs well above 500 revs, was ticking over @ 600 revs. Have fitted new plugs, HT leads and a new Air Flow Sensor, but stil lumpy.

Change air filter and clean crankcase system out, then you will find it runs better. Have same car and year, made a load of difference! (see "how-to" on cleaning out)

As well as a full breather clean, check for:

air leaks on intake
sticky ICV
that the throttle butterflies completely close

Thank you for all your replies. A further development is since a new Air Flow Sensor was fitted the car will not start first time. Fires up but then stops, turn key again and engine starts straight away.This happens every time.
