Omega General Help / Wont Tick Over
« on: 11 December 2009, 11:46:34 »
Hi all
it has been a long time since i posted on here (good i guess)
Car is an Omega B estate 2.0l 16v LHD (German) 1996. (pre face lift)
It is running like a dream on motor ways etc... apart from in the last week it is having problems ticking over. It started with the revs dropping to about 500 at traffic lights and was lumpy. but now it stalls on me when i dip the clutch approching the lights, i now have to toe and heel it whilst at the lights which as you can guess is a pain.
In the past the revs have sat at 2000 sometimes when i have left the moter way and sitting at the lights, to solve this i used to remove a thin black plastic pipe from a round disk affair near the top of the engine and then reconnect it, this seemed to solve this problem, but as it was not very often i did not worry too much about it.
So any ideas as to where i start to fix this problem,
Thanks in advance
Tony
