Omega General Help / Re: Auto stalling and hunting when stopped

« on: 16 July 2009, 03:33:24 »

Hi, mileage is 150,000 will check atf fluid level or maybe just flush and replace and then report back if problem persists. Does the auto box on these have a "sump like" drain plug and a side/top mounted plug for filling i.e. when full the atf fluid leaks back out of filling hole?

  No drain plug just a filler/check plug.

 When you say it idles roughly it could be the idle control valve(ICV)needs cleaning, do you know when it was last done :question.

hi mate what do you clean the icv with...?

   Carb cleaner, let it dry and then oil the valve with some 3in1

hi thanks for replying when you say 3in1 is it the same as wd40..?

More than likely the ICV, when did you last clean out the breather system?

  Clean with carb cleaner, let it dry then oil the valve with a touch of 3in1 .

ive only owned the car for about 3 weeks so im unsure when if or if its ever been cleaned how would i go about cleaning it all out..?

The link below is for cleaning the breather system but I cannot find one for cleaning the Idle Control Valve on the V6 for some reason.  We did have one....  :-/
