Title: Omega 3lt. Intermittent Cut Out
Post by: andydino on 27 December 2007, 23:10:28

Omega 3lt. Intermittent Cut Out

I own a 1995 Omega Elite 3lt. Auto with all the bells and whistles that a car of that era could have. The car has covered 87000 miles and is in very very good condition. The car has been serviced and maintained to a high standard.

My problem is, for no reason the engine decides to cut out when slowing down. I have had the car to various Vauxhall Garages but nothing shows up on the computer. One of the garages replaced the crankshaft Sensor but this has made no difference. I have not had the car all that long but this problem has progressively got worse. It is a great shame for a car that looks and runs like a bird.

Has anyone had this problem and if so, can you please suggest what could be causing this irregular happening. I would be most greatful for any advise. Thank you in advance for any help.

Regards,
Andy

What's the Idle Air Control ICV (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1189893355) like? That's where I'd start. Clean it out with something like Wynns Carb cleaner.

Pump failure is a suspect also..

Worth doing a paperclip test (as its free ;)) to check for cranksensor issues, but ICV sounds more likely now...
