Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Help needed with wiring codes to EGR on 2.2 petrol

« on: 13 December 2010, 15:38:40 »

Hi all,
Needing help identifying the wireing colour codes into the plug on the EGR on a 2.2 petrol engine. The car is a MY 2000  with the y22 engine.

Welung666 sent me a plug and part of a wiring loom. However the wires on this plug are not the same as the wire colours in my car's loom. Once I know which wires go to which pin on the plug I hope the Omega will be back on the road.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Wiring to EGR on 2.2 petrol.

« on: 24 November 2010, 10:29:44 »

I am looking for help in the colour codes/wiring to the plug that fits onto the EGR on the 2.2 petrol. My plug is completly mashed and wires have come out of plug. Thinking of soldering in wires when I am sure of the correct combination to the pin number on EGR.

Thanks in advance.

Omega General Help / Crankshaft sensor on a 4 pot.

« on: 15 September 2010, 19:57:38 »

Hi peeps,
How do you get to and change a crankshaft sensor on a 4 pot?  Tried chasing the wire down the side of the block, but it looks as though it hides behind the frame that the power steering pump and ac compressor fits. Do you need to take this piece off?

 And yes it does need changing as have code read.

Thanks,

Omega General Help / Fault code 1405 on 2.2 petrol facelift.

« on: 11 October 2007, 13:35:01 »

Just had problem with the engine running very rough after fitting a new Egr. Engine hunting at tick over and light (car with spanner) coming on.

Car able to start and accelerate. Code read showing fault code 1405. Have done the resistance check from terminal on plug of Egr to earth. Readings found shows 3 volts  wrt earth, with ignition on. Same point but with ignition off, resistance showing greater than 500 ohm's.

Does any one know where the X83-55 connection is on a 2000 MY 2.2? I think it is in the foot well on the drivers side. Have removed the plastic cover and found what I think is the immobiliser unit. Is this the part I need to check for a good earth to the terminal on the Egr?

Been told the Sim Tech unit should have part number 24421815 on it.

Looking forward to replies, have already spoilt my day with finding out how much another unit will cost.

Omega General Help / Stupig egr

« on: 03 October 2007, 18:22:22 »

Help....The subject says it all. Been trying to sort a egr problem with my mega. Usual probs, lumpy running on start up. Not reving then all of a sudden clears.

Had fault read by local dealer code showing egr. Takes egr off and cleaned with Mr Muscle. Egr back on motor and engine revs and starts o.k.

After a run of about 5 miles engine warmed up fault light comes on along with check auto gearbox. Stopped car switched off then on engine and every thing o.k.

Then engine looses power, and car with spanner comes on. Take Egr off again and this time make a blanking plate. Put Egr back on with new plate. Car starts o.k. from cold with no hunting but after 2 mins auto gearbox check comes on.

Now can some of the more knowledgeable ones explain why this could be? One of my thoughts is that fuel is getting past the injectors causing a fuelling problem. If I set off straight away, after starting the engine, the check light does not come on.


Would be interested on others thoughts.

Omega General Help / Here is a good number for the rubber covers to the

« on: 19 September 2007, 14:01:50 »

Just been carrying out an investigation into alight misfire on my facelift MY2000 2.2 4 pot. The usual suspect was confirmed, leaking oil from the rocker cover to the plug wells. Found that the rubber boots going over the spark plugs from the dis pack where also breaking down. Understood from other posts that you cannot get the boots separately.

'Oh contra Rodney', Vx now do a kit containing the 4 springs connecting the dis pack to spark plugs. The four rubber boots and the two rubber seals at the bottom of the dis pack to cylinder head. The part number is 9195820 and is called Kit-parts*t  cost of £13.22 inc vat without TC.

This might help others with similar problems as the rubbers do crack and break down with heat.

Omega General Help / No lights on..is someone home?

« on: 17 July 2007, 21:46:58 »

Do you agree with my reasoning?

Started mega and set off for work. Battery/ignition light coming pulsed on then off along with light next to it with engine running. Engine able to rev but no speedo or tacho. Switched off engine, turned on ignition now no battery charging light. Engine starts but no tacho or speedo.

Checked out battery voltage and shows 12.45v with engine off, 11.4v with engine on. So thinking alternator shot. Have checked connections at rear of alternator for tightness, all o.k.

 Does any one of you good peeps know of a sorce for parts for a 100 amp 14v alternator. Only motor factors around here will exchange knackered alternator for 'refurbished one'.

Sorry to ask but, where is the ICV on a facelift 2.2?

The time has come to do a clean on mine as it has now done 107,000 miles.
Have cleaned out the breathers and throttle body so want to finish off with the ICV. So a point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Omega General Help / Intermittent EML when start up.

« on: 30 June 2007, 18:30:25 »

Just been trying to sort out a fault that has been rearing its ugly head over the last couple of days. When i start the car and put into drive the car is trying to lurch forward. Other times starts and runs o.k.

Cleaned out the oil around the plugs. Changed plugs for new Vauxhall ones. New gasket and sealed. Checked to see if the oil had made its way back around plugs but bone dry. Took off throttle body and cleaned. Also breathers and other pipes.

Started up and ticked over and responded to throttle.
When Mrs. DaveL went to go out in car engine started but revs up at 1500, no throttle response. Auto gearbox check with EML lit. Switched off and on a couple of times and fault still same.

Of course when i tried engine perfect....tried the engine after Mrs Davel left for work and fault came back. Change cam shaft sensor for known good still same. No vacuum pipes off or rubber pipe work leaking.


When the fault comes on there is no response to the throttle just steady revs, am i right in thinking it must be the throttle body or connection to it, remember mine is fly by wire.

Your thoughts would be appreciated and i am sorry for the long story.

Omega General Help / Vacuum pipe on top of HBV on 2.2 facelift.

« on: 26 June 2007, 20:59:46 »

Just been cleaning around the engine on my 2.2 petrol Mega. Found that the vacuum pipe to the HBV although connected to the top of the valve is not fitted to any where else. Have tried moving the pipe about to see if it fits but cannot for the life of me see.  

Put me out of my misery and tell me please.

Omega General Help / Paint code.

« on: 31 March 2007, 08:47:12 »

Here is probably a very quick question for the forum. Where abouts do i find the paint code on my 2000 MY Silver Omega?

I know it is Silver so that is one step ahead but is there different shades during the production run?

I am about to go into town to get some paint mixed to repair some earlier damage, done by Mrs. DaveL, and want to make sure that paint matches.

I would take the Omega but i have some business to sort as well so must take firms car.

Thanks in advance.

Omega General Help / Can 2.2 exhaust manifold be changed for....

« on: 25 March 2007, 11:05:01 »

Hi tried to ask this question on previous post but must have got lost in the other more important postings.

Have a crack , that is getting worse, on manifold on my my 2000 2.2 petrol mega. I have sorted this problem out in the past with welding. I do have an extensive use of different types of welding and can use them.

My question is, rather than paff about heating the manifold up and cooling down over a few hours after welding with a high carbon welding rod, (are you still awake at the back there?) would a non air pumped manifold fit and work.

Chassis number WOLOVBM35Y1131721.

Thanks.

Meetings, gatherings, parties etc / A very big thank you for the jocular Omegas

« on: 10 April 2007, 11:28:08 »

A big thank you to one and all for making the Easter Meet a 'good' do. Especially to jim for his tireless devotion to the cooking.

It was great to meet and greet you all and put faces to names. The look on the other users of the car park as we cooked out was fantastic. Next time we will have to think about a stall to sell hot dogs/burgers to the sodden hill walkers and swell the coffers.

Good food, good crack and good company. You will see i have left out mention of the weather, i suppose that the photo's will tell the story better than my words.

Looking forward to the next meet and hope that the other members that could not make this one can the next.
