Omega General Help / Re: Omega 2 litre - fast idle problem

« on: 05 February 2010, 16:43:24 »

An ICV has been installed and it's not made any difference so the old one was put back.

I'm not sure I know what I'm looking for when people make suggestions.

If someone local could pop round, now that would help. I'll cover their petrol costs.

I do believe the ICV has already been cleaned.

Omega General Help / Omega 2 litre - fast idle problem

« on: 05 February 2010, 15:57:06 »

Scenario
======
Engine starts fine from cold or hot.
Engine idles (hunts) between 900rpm and 2100rpm and then eventually calms down to idle at 900rpm.

When driving, the engine runs away with itself as if the throttle is stuck. The idle when stationary then hunts again but calms down after about 4 or 5 times of hunting.


I'm not mechanically minded although could probably tackle minor jobs. If anyone is located near Halstead Essex, or Sudbury Suffolk, I'd appreciate some help because so far, my local garage hasn't found a cure and I can't carry on paying £70 an hour for them to research the problem.

Thanks in anticipation

I'm not terribly mechanically minded, where are the breathers and are they easy for someone like me to clean

Omega General Help / Idle problem 2.0 litre Omega GLS

« on: 30 January 2010, 13:57:03 »

I have a 1996, N reg Omega estate, 2 litre petrol. It is racing when stationary rather than idling at just under 1000rpm. It races between 1000rpm and 2500rpm then back to 1000rpm, then back to 2500rpm. It sometimes clears itself and settles back at 1000rpm but generally it just races.

I have changed the air and oil filters, changed the oil, as it was a bit mucky. This made a difference for a short while but now is back to the same problem.

Any help is much appreciated
