Omega General Help / Lumpy idle and stalling
« on: 06 August 2019, 12:10:39 »
I have an Omega, 3L V6 Auto. W plate 2000reg.
Lpg converted.
Fortnight or so ago, it stalled while in a car park, looking for a space (tick over revs, low speed). Fired back up immediately. Switched it to petrol, no issues.
Later on that day, stalled again, em light lit, wouldn't fire. Waited 10-15 mins, fired up. Sounded rough, like crap in fuel so got gallon of petrol in it- usually run it on quarter tank as lpg.
Fired up sounded fine. Pulled off drive, stalled. em light lit.
Mate reckoned crank sensor. Garage diagnosed n replaced crank sensor. Couldn't recreate fault.
Picked it up yesterday. Sounded sweet, drove fine. Got home, stalled on drive. Lumpy idle.
Ticks over at 500rpm, then stalls. Starts up straight away, then 30s later, stalls. Em light lit. Repeat twice, then fine. If I rev it, seems fine. Not moved it from driveway as it was a bugger to push home last time.
I'll post the paperclip trick diagnostics tonight.
Any ideas? I'm on holiday in a fortnight n really need the car!
