Omega General Help / Car wont start after sitting for 3 years
« on: 22 June 2019, 22:30:23 »
I have an N reg 2.5 v6 auto omega, the car was working fine 3 years ago but then it was parked up for a while and occasionally started until about a year ago it wouldn't start at all. What I have found out so far; The main problem is that the fuel pump doesn't prime (I tried changing pump and relay before i found out about the plugs not sparking) and the spark plugs don't spark, the engine does crank though. The key fob doesn't lock or unlock the car the light on the fob flashes but nothing happens to the car (it's the one that has a key and a separate fob) if i put the key in the door all doors will lock and unlock electronically and all the electronics in the cabin work from what i have seen so far. I did a paper clip test and at first it was showing 145 and if i left the key in for a minute or so it would keep cycling the code and eventually change to 144. I also bought a new battery and tried another battery.
