Title: max 4,5k rpm and power loss
Post by: RGrims on 06 October 2010, 00:26:36

Hi.
I got a 1995 Omega 2.0L Ecotec 16v GL Sedan
sometimes when i start it then the warninglight comes on and it can only go to 4,5k rpm before it stops and it seems like it's lost alot of power. i didn't mind so much about it since it used to be enough with re-starting the car, but now it happens all the time, anyone know what's wrong?
it's got all required fluids and service wasn't long ago.

38   O2 Sensor 1 Circuit Voltage Low

Ignore it, get a genuine cam sensor and it should clear both codes :y

As said, do not go to a motor factor.

Bit far, even for you Lee :D

Have a look in the Maintenance Guides, I think someone has done a guide, could be wrong.

hi again.
while changing the cam sensor i broke a bolt.. :p
not the one holding the cam sensor but the one below, going inside the engine, so i drilled in it to get the rest of the bolt out but it was stuck so i made a bigger hole so i could fit a new one and accidentally went through, is there something important in there?
i got the same codes btw. 38 and 92
