Yabba-Dabba-Doo!

Thanks to the great Omega wizard, JamesV6CDX, the fault was located and the offending item (the main autobox solenoid) replaced.

Fault codes all gone! Smooth changes through the gears.

I am over the moon. Aside from his knowledge, his energy and his optimism, he's a real gent!  :)

So, today saw the solenoid fixed, yucky ATF replaced, fuel filter replaced, plus a full engine oil change. Coming back soon to do the brake discs and pads, cambelt, aux belt, plug change and oil pressure switch replacement.

Great weather and a great day!  :y :y :y :y

out of interest, what valve was it? Looking at this diagram was it 17 or 18 or another one?

I haven’t looked at the diagram yet as I’m posting from mobile and only a flying visit - but if it helps, it’s the larger of the two solenoids, in the front sump, with the push on spade connectors :y

Looking at the invoice from JPAT, the description is:
Part No: N147 35 09 Solenoid, EPC, 4L60E 93-02, 4L80E 94-03, OEM

Interesting - I’m sure this box is a 4L30-E (and IIRC, the additional front part / sump was an upgrade from an earlier GM box).

But let’s not concern ourselves too much - it works now! :y

Electrically speaking the 4LxxE is ostensibly the same box.

The 4 is the number of forward gears,
L is the layout
xx is the torque rating
E is the electronic control instead of mechanical.  :y

James popped round today to do the cambelt, auxiliary belt, oil pressure switch and front brake discs and pads.

Was disturbed to find that the numpties at my local garage (where the cambelt was done 3 years ago) had managed to fit the belt a tooth out on both banks. Also, there was a tooth of slack in one section of the pulley belt which could easily have caused a failure. James was particularly unimpressed by the Tippex marks they had put on the pulleys – they clearly didn't use a proper kit. Add to that, they failed to reconnect the fuel sensor vacuum hose by the plenum. >:( >:(

Oh, and they had also dropped one of those plastic bungs under the plenum. I wondered where it had gone.

Won't ever use them again.

So pleased to have James correct everything. He's one hell of a good lad.  :y :y 

Can't wait to have a drive tomorrow!  :)

Very welcome as always mate. I’ll pop some specifics up later, but just off to catch last orders :y

I wouldn't worry about Tippex emphasising the correct marks on the pulleys, it's extra ones or on the backing plate that are cause for concern.

Which were also present :)

It had clearly been done by eye and no setting kit. By someone unfamiliar with this V6 :y

Mine was the same, and all four cams were a tooth out; clearly the previous mechanic(and I had the invoice for the work) didn't turn the engine through after fitting the belt. It ran a lot better being correctly timed, and the fuel economy improvement easily paid for the setting kit. I do add Tippex to the correct pulley marks just to make the job quicker
