Title: Feedback on omega 2.2 l 2001 estate z22xe misfires then stalls when accelerating
Post by: gibby on 11 May 2012, 18:11:36

 :) Some few days ago I posted in this column that my omega 2.2L estate Z22XE was misfiring then stalling when accelerating and auto gearbox could go into limp mode.

I was advised by Mr. Albs and Mr. Proz to change the camshaft sensor. I have good news today to say that I tried to change the cam sensor, in fact the one which was there was the after market one (not original). I assume the garage replaced this one. But this time I ordered the GM made by Siemens. And the all problems have vanished. However, there is hestitation and some few jerks mainly when going up hill.   

Once again thanks very much Mr. Albs and Mr. Proz, may the Lord bless you.

Probably worth getting all codes cleared and BLMs reset, drive round for a week or so, and check for codes and the state of the BLMs again
