Hi All
Can anyone help me with this please my Omega will not start having no spark and no fuel, I have done paperclip test and it lists the following
CODE 145 Incorrect immobiliser signal recieved
CODE 19 RPM signal (crankshaft sensor)
CODE 135 'check engine' lamp (fault code lamp)
Recently it would not rev above 4500 RPM (as though the rev limit had been reduced ) and on close inspection I found the sparkplug wells full of oil, and with the help of some of the brilliant posts on this site I fitted some Veccy covers and new leads. On the test drive it ran very smoothly but when warm the 44500 RPM problem returned, running very low on fuel I reversed up an incline and the engine cut out it then started again, put car away and it cut out again and hasen't started since.
Other info
Omega MV6 1995 3.0XE No factory immobiliser fitted (ex Police demonstator ).
Many thanks in advance
Andy

Welcome Andy,
If we assume that the immobiliser error code is a phantom due to the fact that there car doesn't actually have one, and that the 'check engine' is obvious, then this leaves the crank sensor... the car wouldn't start if it is faulty. Or may be the wires interrupted when installing the new camcovers...?

...and that's where it lives:

Cheers Markjay for speedy reply and pic, is there any way testing it with a multimeter ?
Regards Andy

No real way of testing it but...
1) If it fails the ecu wont fire the spark or injectors
2) A code 19 is generaly only flagged when its knackered.
Pretty open and shut case realy.

A 19 will frequently cause starting problems...
