Title: Eratic Idle on my 2.2 2002 Omega.
Post by: Barry Hewes on 18 September 2018, 16:27:51

Hi Omega Lovers. Mine has started to play about. The idle goes up and down, when you accelerate, ie put load on when in gear, the car hunts pulling forward being an automatic and stalls. I've check all the usual, and bought new Jubilee clips for the air intake to the Throttle Body. Checked for pressure leaks and can't find any or see anything visual. Take the car on the road and it gets up to speed with no problems it's just this idle problem. Can anyone help please, it would be nice to have info from anyone who has had the same problem. Thanks Barry.

Yup, that's first action, throttle body cleaning is dead easy on 2.2  :y
