Omega Electrical and Audio Help / TC & ABS

« on: 27 July 2011, 10:26:54 »

Since I got the car these have never worked. It doesn't really bother me as I like to drive without aids. However I do like things to work if they should..

I've checked the fuse for it and that's fine. however the dash bulbs don't illuminate and pressing the TC switch does nothing. Am I right in assuming the bulbs form part of the circuit and Perhaps try replacing/inserting these first?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Central locking and key question

« on: 26 May 2011, 16:23:21 »

This has been bothering me for a while now.

I have 2 keys to operate my Omega.
The old early round key for the doors. (I have to manually put this in the lock)
And a later Horse shoe type for the ignition barrel.

This was how I got it so I don't know what the hell happened.


The question is, I have several blank keys and fobs with a chip in. is there ANY way I can get these programmed so I can unlock the car remotely. I'm not bothered about needing a different key for the ignition. I'm just fed up of having to put the key in the door.


Thanks in advance

Omega General Help / Another problem :( has this happened to you?

« on: 26 July 2011, 17:23:24 »

Basically it keeps cutting out when you come to a stop. Not all the time, it only happened 3 times last week but on the way home today 6 TIMES  sometimes it acts as if it was about to cut out the battery light slightly illuminates then the revs will come back up, ive not lost any power or had any engine light. normally i would suspect idle valve but thats normally paired with erratic idling,

Crank sensor?

Omega General Help / It must be a MAF I need.. right?

« on: 12 July 2011, 20:00:41 »

Ok if you haven't seen my other topic basically I changed my cam cover gaskets, cleaned the breathers, throttle body, plenum, new plugs.

Once everything was back together I started her up and it was misfiring, looked into it no6 plug lead had fallen apart. repaired it, then it wouldn't start at all. replaced all the plug leads with brand new ones. still wouldnt start,

I had a breakthrough last night when I took the maf sensor plug off and it started but was revving all over the place.

So today I took everything apart again. checked the plenum sealed correctly checked all the vaccums etc, checked everything basically, started her with the maf sensor off and it started, no revving all over either, just sat about 800rpm but very lumpy obviously, sometimes it would cut out. after a few minutes of running once it warmed up it didnt cut out, if i reconnected the maf whilst running it would still run and the eng light would go off, however it is even lumpier than without. it will NOT start at all if the maf is plugged in,

also I noticed whilst it was running a heavy tapping noise on the passenger side. sounded a bit like an injector.

Omega General Help / A few questions if anyone can help

« on: 17 May 2011, 10:51:32 »

All on my 1995 elite x30xe saloon

1. What size are the front and rear speakers.

2. one of my rocker cover gaskets is leaking, I am going to do them all for the sake of it, Is it a hard job and is it just one gasket per head or 2 as the ones I have look a bit small so I was wondering if I needed 2 left and 2 right ones??

3. My traction control doesn't seem to work. The switch illuminates, the fuse is ok, but no light ever appears on the dash. Anything else to check?

4. When starting up cold the car idles at around 1200-1300 rpm then drops to 500rpm. it doesn't stutter or anything but i've never had a car rev so low? Also sometimes when pulling away it can be extremely lumpy.

I've only had the car a week so i'm just trying to sort out minor niggles, It could do with a proper service which i'm doing next week so that might help the running.

Any help would be appreciated.
