Title: Omega T-reg 2.0 16v starting problem
Post by: Vitaliy on 03 March 2015, 20:17:04

Hi
My dad has some troubles with his omega. It requires 10-15 sec cranking 90% of the times he tries to start it. No error codes are stored ( or at least visible with paperclip test). Additionally from time to time it will cut-out at idle while driving ( only when its not up to its running temperature). Again there will be no errors stored. Otherwise it has its full power and as smooth as it should be ( well for a 4 pot at least).

Any Ideas???

Does sound remarkably like Cam Sensor

Wouldn't think so as it happily revs to 6000 rpm and from cam sensor it wouldn't stall or make it difficult to start.

Hm ok fair enough - previously I had cam sensor failures twice ( all on different omegas 2.0 - had probably 7 or 8 of them over the years) and failure had never present itself in this particular way - always had rev limit to 4000rpm and MIL on.. If you say cam sensor failure on these can represent itself differently - fair enough. I was considering crankshaft sensor to be at fault.
I think I have a spare cam sensor in my garage to test. Will see when will I got the time for it as its a b*stard to get at.
