Omega General Help / Re: Stutters like a pig, at 4500 rpm

« on: 15 September 2006, 15:49:03 »

Hi

With the engine running, i get no flashing at all, the light just stays on.
I will try it again though just to be sure.

If it helps at all, i went out this afternoon in it and the EML light was not on, and i could rev passed 4500 rpm, also the flat spotty pull was gone, the water tem did not go above 90°, it was like this for a 25 minute trip, i then turned the engine off, i came back ten minute laters and when i started the car the EML was back on and all the usual symptoms wre there. :-?  

The car has A/C or Climate Control?, i have the center panel with the digital read out,  a Auto and Off button, Temp + - buttons for both sides  and fan speed buttons, then the usual demist and air circulation buttons.

Sorry i for gat to mention that the car is a CD version.

Good that is what i like to hear.

Where would i find that sensor, as i can't see anything about it in the Haynes manual?

Is it worth checking the connections of it first?

Hi

Ok this is what i got with just the ignition switched on

Flash = *
pause = --

*--**--*--**--*--**--*********--*--*********

so i got 9 flashes sequence then a gap the one flash then a gap the 9 flashes.
I think that i read it all correctly

I have the list of fault codes here in front of me, downloaded from topbuzz, but the list starts at 12 and goes on to 98, so i am wondering how to translate the flashes i got in regards to the list i got.
If it is *--********* then i guess that it is fault code 19 which is

"Incorrect Revs Per Minute (RPM) signal (cranksharft sensor)       Incorrect Signal, Check Sensor"

So if any of you can pick the bones out that info, GREAT  

Thanks for your time

Hi

It is the 16 pin plug, but the first couple of hole in it look empty. i will try shorting pins 5 & 6 and see what that gives.

Thanks

Hi all

Ok just went out for a drive,  
The car is running hotter that usual it goes up to about 98° then drops to 95° and so on, it never used to get past 90° or so maybe just coincidence???
I have just tried the paperclip test, shorting out pins 4 and 6 but i get no reaction, the light just stays on, no flashing what so ever, i have tried with engine running, and not running.
Any ideas on where i go from here?

Thanks again for your time.

Tony

Hi All

I am new here, i hope that this is in the correct section.

Ok i have a lefthand drive German Omega B estate 2.0L 16v Ecotec, 1995, 85,000 miles.
Driving the other night, everything was normal, then the dash light came on, the picture of an engine with a lightning strike in the middle. I guess this is the one that tells me to go to Opel and let them plug my car into there computer to see what is wrong with it, at a very high cost no doubt.

Anyway with this light on all seems fine, UNTIL i hit 4500 revs and then it stutters like a pig. It has done this in 1st 2nd and 3rd gears (i have not tested 4th and 5th as i was almost home) once it stutters i change gear and it drives as normal, like a dream. All though it does seem a bit guttless at the lower end, very flat spotty from pull off, but once going it is ok I also noticed that the engine temp was a little higher that normal it was reading 95° instead 0f 90°, i don't know if that is relevant or just coincidence.


Thanks for your help on this.

Hello all

Ok i am new here, but what i have seen so far, looks like i will be popping back quite a lot.

I live in South West Germany, although i come from Croydon Surrey, UK

This forum was recomended to me by somebody on a different forum.

My car skills are limited, 20 years ago i had no problem fixing cars, changing gearboxs, clutchs, and if they did not start, a good idea what the problem was, but now days what with all the electronics and the general lack of room to do anything with, i find myself struggling a bit, but thaks to forums like this, i am willing to have a go.  

Cheers

Tony
