Did you fit a genuine Vauxhall sensor ???
-
And have you paperclipped it for any possible codes http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1189022687

Does this work on a Wauxhall ;D
-
Thanks guys for the help,i`ll go and check :)
-
if you post you results of the paperclip test on here someone will advise you what you need to do next :y
-
Thought that was a good effort in getting all that out in a language that is obviously not his mother tongue...well done!!
Wauxhall?? is he from Luton then??
-
Wauxhall Tickled me from when my son was young thats what he used to call the omega i had at the time
-
Ok,so i did run the check,and i come out with nothing!
No error code.
Any advice,or idea?
-
Clean idle control valve, silver mustard pot sizes canister on passenger side of plenum, air pipe in air pipe out to plenum with electrical plug on the back.
Remove, clean inside with carb cleaner, re fit, may take several attempts or it needs replacing, try barkers on here if no joy.

You say you've tried 3 crank sensors, were they genuine Vauxhall ones?
-
don't think it will be the crank sensor
I had this on a toyota (ugh!) try unplugging the mass airflow sensor to see if it cures it? You'll get the fault light on but that will go away later. The problem I had on the toyota was that the MAF was giving false reading resulting in overfueling - this was fine when cold but not when hot. this may not be the problem here so do not buy any parts but there is no harm in trying this idea as it costs nothing and will do no harm
-
No,the crank sensors what i tried it was not original Vauxhall parts!
-
I'm not convinced it is crank senor related. what's the fuel economy like? worse than normal? I guess it is over fueling 'cos it runs ok cold but not hot. Crank sensor is not temperature related; they work or they don't
-
If you bring it over to Bolton I'll put the code reader on for you mate.
Also how did you route the replacement CS?

May not be temp related but, if you`ve got a dodgy one you will always have trouble starting from hot
