Yeah, code is definately correct (was just me trying to be clever that couldn't remember it)  :-/

So my understanding now is that the timer resets when I turn the ignition on and I then need to wait for it to time out before trying?
As it is on 7 SAFE I pressume this will not be too long? will trying before this time is up reset it again? or is just ignition linked? (as I have no idea how long to wait before trying hehe)
Going to try after the 10 minute run to work tomorrow (before I turn the ignition off hehe)

Thx guys

Is this the waiting time between attempts? or the duration of waiting till it gives you the chance to put the code in? ( as in holding AS)

Thx

Ok, so silly mistake I Left my ignition on overnight, don't ask me why as I dont know  

Jump started the car and off to work I go. Go out to the car at break time and realise that radio is in safe mode. No problem, I know the code! (famous last words) Usual method, hold AS etc...
I enter the code and find that maybe my memory was not what it once was  
I try again....no joy  

Ok, thats me on 8 SAFE...I aint gonna play around, will wait till I get home

I get home and locate my correct code and try that...as I am trying it I get a beep and now it says 7 SAFE...geez I was having a bad day!!   I stop rushing and go to try again. Now all I get though is 7 SAFE and can't get it to bring up the 4 dashes for me to input the code  :-/

Have I done something wrong? what could I have done?

It definately says 7 SAFE and I definately have the correct code...but it just wont let me input it.

Any suggestion?

Omega General Help / Power/Fuel drop

« on: 09 August 2007, 09:08:47 »

Ok, a strange one for me but I am sure that someone out there will have a suggestion  :-/

There is one bend on my way to work where I slow down from 60mph to about 20 for a tight left hand bend. Recently my miggy has started to drop power as I am coming round the bend. It is as if she is starved of full fuel for about a second and then she picks up as normal and all is well again. This happens nearly every time I take that bend and I have never noticed it at any other time.

Yes, there is plenty of fuel in her (not running on fumes)
It was suggested that it may be a clogged up fuel filter...I put a new one on yesterday but it still happened this morning on my way into work. (The "How to" made it so easy   )

any suggestions?

Omega General Help / Re: Oil level sensor on a 2.2?

« on: 25 February 2007, 22:06:59 »

Having the same problem with my 2.0   :-/

Keeps telling me to "Check oil level" (but not all the time)
Oil light never comes on and there is no oil leak....constantly check oil level and all is ok.

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152601768

If i can manage it...anyone can  

(btw...I think it is pins 4 and 6...but would have to re read it)

Ok, so if I were to fit a new or donor Cam sensor..... this would mean that I would still have the fault light on until it cleared after 20 sucessful starts etc...but would the "limp" mode (restricted revs) still kick in until it cleared? or would it mean that the light would stay on and it would run ok?

I only ask so that I would know if I sucessfully changed the sensor.

Thx Nixoro, it does make sense

TBH my donor car is identical (my old Omega) except for bring about 6 months older. So I was hoping to get away with getting the newer one sorted at a reasonable cost. That was the plan...hehe

My problem lies in the fact that when it comes to cars I am a complete Noob! so please excuse any further stupid questions that I may post....but I will look to see if there is a previous post first ofc.

Ok, so now I have another question.....It has come up with the error code and I have identified it as the Cam sensor. If I now replace with a new one, will the logged fault still restrict the engine to limp mode until I get it to a garage and get it cleared? or will it clear the fault but log it as a past error?
The reason I ask is that I live about 20 miles from the nearest place that has a diagnostic set and currently have no tax on the car.

If anyone can advise me on this I would be most greatfull

Ok guys...time to yell "HELP!!!!" again  

I did the paperclip test on my Omega today......(thx to the link on the site )

First problem is that (correct me if I am wrong please) it is a 1998 2.0 16v auto and therefore it is an Omega B 2.01 16V with Engine code X20XEV

Looking through the listing I should have a Siemens Simtec 56.0/56.1???
I should find a 10 pin connector?  Well I look under my steering wheel and find a 16 pin...yes I was confused. Ok, so I re read everything again and decide that maybe it could be a Simtec 56.5 (P Codes) and that maybe it was my error.
I short pins 2 and 4 and Diagnostics seem to work and the light flashes as described. I read the code and what do you know??? all it comes up with is a (0340) = Camshaft sensor.

Would I be right in presuming that I did the right check? and this is the code and problem?
I tried to clear the code, as per off and on 30 times allowing for setup etc each time but no joy.....maybe the sensor is knackered? Trouble is that I took this sensor off my other omega (donor) which I knew was working before I scrapped it. Are they easily damaged? or am I just unlucky?

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Thx

well I got a mate down to give me a hand....trouble is that with me knowing very little, we tried various checks etc but never actually tackled the DIS (even though there are some great guides to this on the forum)
He suggests that it is a dodgy valve...personally I would rather try the DIS first...(he is a mechanic but I dont know if I can trust his knowledge as far as I can throw him...not when it comes to my Omega )

Could it be a valve? (car has done 113k) or should I just try the DIS first rather than taking the head off?
