Omega General Help / Re: urgent one on a 2.2 petrol

« on: 12 April 2010, 17:20:01 »

Guys My suggestion for what its worth is to c;ean the Throttle Body and the Breathers.  I had a similar issue with my 2.2 and as soon as we cleaned the Housing and the Breathers with some Carb Cleaner the Car was as perfect

Hi Michael,  Its a doddle to fix. Give the breathers a dam good clean with the Carb Cleaner, and in the daylight, follow the guide on here for cleaning the throttle body.  You will notice the difference instantly.  Improved oooooooooph and much better mpg

Hi Mate.  I had exactly the same problem as you, and I was given the run around something rotten.  I cleaned the throttle body, the housing and cleaned the breather pipes, and my car was as good as new.  Ive got a 2.2 the same as you.  If you read my posts you will find I had exactly the same problem as you, and after having the codes read, was able to cure the proble at a grand cost of £9 which included Carb/Air intake cleaner and a couple of gaskets.  Hope this helps

Omega General Help / Spanner through Car Symbol SOLVED

« on: 15 February 2010, 19:18:47 »

Hi Ive just posted my experiences of the Spanner through Car Symbol on the dashboard.  It wasnt the Cam Sensor or the Crankshaft Sensor.  If you read my post all it needed was two OE gaskets costing £1.90, and a can of Wynns Carb Cleaner, and following the guide on here that shows how to clean out breather pipes and the throttle body housing  Good Luck!!

SOLVED AND SORTED

Followed the guide on here for cleaning the pipes and throttle body

The MAF was perfect, and so was the Air Filter

The butterfly valve had a line of carbon around the inside of the body, stopping it from closing properly.  The metal throttle body was brown and completely choked up, including the small hole which was blocked

The pipes had a bit of gunge in them

The air pressure was awful - practically non existent

Everything cleaned out using Carb Cleaner (Wynns) Jeeeez that stuff is good.  It cleaned everything, so all the stuff is cleaner than when it first left the factory.  I also found a good squirt of brake disc cleaner helped as well

The DBW plug was probably the trickiest thing to get out but with a bit of prising it soon popped off

The air pressure is now perfect

The guide was invaluable!!

I dont have to plan overtaking 8 hours ahead any more LOL!

My fuel economy around town has gone from 18mpg to 27mpg!

I reckon that I could give the wheezing 6 pots a dam good run even now!!!

I hope some one else who has had the dreaded spanner through car symbol on their dashboard and it isnt the cam sensor or crankshaft sensor and is pulling their hair out like me, reads my posts and then heads for the MAF or throttle body housing

OK the plan for Saturday morning is to clean the throttle boy, and check the car.  Then Il give the car a run. .........then Il run it with the MAF disconnected.  By the way if it needsa new MAF, Im assuming it doesnt need to be coded to the car or anything daft like that Its just a plug and go device I assume??

Now Im more confused. Would the best thing be to clean the throttle body housing etc, see if that cures it.  If it doesnt then take the MAF off.  THe engine idles fine, its just when the car is driving along that I get the car with a spanner symbol, which has generated the fault code

Its gutless.  Theres no stalling, but if I floor the throttle the power isnt there as it should be. The problem seems to occur when theres a 2 to 3 rd gear change at approx 30 mph at 1500rpm

Ok, do you know if theres a guide on here for cleaning the throttle body housing, or the sensor ?  Ive had a search around, and cant find a guide- probably me going mad!

« on: 09 February 2010, 19:18:43 »

Hi Ive got the following fault code P1555, which is Throttle position load signal not pausible

So, on this basis how straight forward is it to change the throttle sensor??

Cheers

Hi there

Perhaps we could so a comparison between the codes Ive been given, and perhaps your code reading. Would be interesting to see if they are the same?
