It runs perfectly until I stop and let it idle. There is no hesitation when accelerating and the car appears to have plenty of 'oomph'

Omega General Help / Stalling omega
« on: 07 September 2006, 20:46:42 »
Hi
I have just bought a 99 'S' plate 2.5 CD. It has a large amount of history which has included rocker cover gaskets, Idle control, crank sensor, dis pack, leads and cats.
I love the car but it has a minor problem - it cuts out.
Some mornings it is hard to start and others it fires first time. Some days it will run perfectly, others it will cut out.
The cutting out gives no warning, the engine just stops. No warning lights before the event and it will start immediately after.
Any ideas gratefully received.
John

Krypton Green, I wasn't sure when I bought it but it has grown on me. It's nicer with the light interior as well.

That's the same colour as my 3.0 litre Elite although my interior is cream. I wasn't sure about the clolour when I first saw it but it has definitely grown on me. Looks the bizz in bright sunlight.

Just waved goodbye to probably one of the nicest people I have ever met. I am talking about Darth who has just completed a cambelt, water pump, aux belt and oil change with a level of professionalism you don't seem to get nowadays. I can even forgive the interminable Rick Astley the superb job he has done. I am disappointed that he wouldn't swap his gorgeous Jaguar Sovereign for my Elite but that's life. Anyway, if anyone needs work doing then Darth is your man

LOLQuoteI've just changed my wheels from the standard Elite to oxigin 1. The wheels themselves look terrific but they came with Avon ZZ3 tyres which had done less than 2000 miles. The problem I have is that one of the tyres had a slightly worn outside edge and the car now tramlines like a goodun. Before the change the car drove in a dead straight line no matter what the road surface. I currently have the worn one on the nearside front. My question is, would moving the wheel to the nearside rear (they are directional) be the best bet or should I change the tyre. I can't afford to replace all 4 which is what I would have like to have done.I think Lee marvin was born under a wandering car
