Omega General Help / Looking for mechanic for 2.6 v6

« on: 05 May 2018, 17:19:28 »

Hi all,

As you will see my posts on here have been few and far between, however I am now looking for someone who is knowledgeable with the 2.6 V6 engine in the Omega.

Long story short, I lost my father 2 years ago and his Omega was left standing at the time (other priories got in the way). Since then the car was low loaded to my late fathers mechanic as she wouldn't start. The mechanic said all the valves were bent in the engine and he suggested replacing the engine which was agreed to at the time. (not sure how true this was, as I am not a mechanic, but took him at face value, my first mistake in hindsight)

The car is now back with me, but the are various bits that are blatantly still not right, vacuum hoses not connected etc.

I fully appreciate that from a cost point of view there is probably no point working on this, however this car has great sentimental value to me and I am looking for someone who can help me get her road worthy again. I would be willing to pay for your time and travel, as I want to see her restored to her former glory.

If anyone is willing to have a look at her with me, or knows someone who can be trusted to take this on, I would very much appreciate you contacting me.

Thanks in advance,

Dan.

Omega General Help / P0340 - Advice appreciated.

« on: 06 May 2017, 18:15:55 »

Hi all,

Firstly may I apologise as this is the first time I have been on the forum, and I am already asking for advice.

I lost my father 12 months ago, and I have recently been trying to resurrect his 2001 2.6 v6 Omega. The car was working fine, and there were no issues, it had been left to stand as there were other priorities at the time.

I have tried to start the car recently, and tried the following, but to no avail.

- New battery (Previous battery was dead), car wouldn't start.
- Fresh Fuel, car wouldn't start.
- Replaced spark plugs, car wouldn't start.
- Removed one coil pack, with spark plugs in situ, turned car over and no spark at plug.
- Borrowed a friends diagnostic reader, this reported P0340.
- Cleared error code.
- Replaced crankshaft sensor with genuine GM part, car still wouldn't start.
- Replaced camshaft sensor, passenger side of car (short cable) (Is there another one drivers side, being a v6?)
- Code P0340 has reappeared.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I have gone as far as I can with my own limited knowledge, but would like to see this car running again. I would equally be willing to pay someone to take a look with more knowledge than myself.

Many thanks in advance.
