Omega General Help / O2 Sensor which side is 1 and 2?
« on: 23 May 2017, 06:33:11 »
Title.
Does it matter which plug is in which? I would assume because it adjust each fuel bank seperately with each lambda right?
I might have the connectors mixed up.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Transmission 77 "Kickdown Switch Low Voltage"
« on: 18 May 2017, 21:09:30 »
What causes this? How does the kickdown work on these cars? I get no voltage on kickdown at all so the error is persistent.
Weird thing is that it seems to kickdown just fine...

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Easiest way to get USB and/or AUX to a Bose system?
« on: 20 April 2017, 20:09:06 »
That is all I'm asking for, don't even need an aftermarket head unit as long as I can listen to something else than CDs or Radio...
But aftermarket head unit would be optimal but are there tricks to do that today or is it still "not recommended"?
Such a PITA this Bose system, one tweeter is crackling a bit too so not sure what I can even do about that.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / No info on the display about CD, radio etc?
« on: 18 April 2017, 20:55:24 »
I got something that looks like this in my Omega but I don't have any info on the display in the dash about the radio channels or CD being played or anything, any idea why? Is it even the correct player for the car?
The car itself seems to have 8 speakers total.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Using keys/remote from spare car?
« on: 09 April 2017, 18:46:45 »
I probably have another Omega to salvage parts from soon and as my own car doesn't have a key or remote on it, am I correct that I need ECU, transponder and keys from the spare car to plug in on my own to be able to use the remote locking from it?
Both are MV6, one is 1996 and other is 1997. The spare just has lots of nice extras like leather interior, heated rear seats, sun roof etc...
Should just swap the engine from mine to that really if I had the time for it...

Omega General Help / 3.2 vs 3.0 timing kit difference?
« on: 09 April 2017, 17:01:30 »
I remember reading that the parts fit on either engine but why are they sold as different when the physical engine is pretty much the same on the outside apart from lower guide pulley?
There is a big difference in price here for 3.0 vs 3.2.
Also they seem to ask for engine number for different kits but again, why? What is so different about them?

Omega General Help / X30XE no oil pressure?
« on: 03 April 2017, 19:20:00 »
What causes this on these engines? The overpressure valve? How prone are the oil pumps for failure on these? Can the "filter" or whatever you call it inside the oil pan clog up?
Can the pump be fixed or easily diagnosed if it is actually broken or not without just swapping in another one? How hard is the pump to remove? Any how-tos?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Rear window sun screen arms fix?
« on: 01 April 2017, 06:46:41 »
Both arms are broken off from the sun screen at the rear window so they turn up without the screen, anyone done any fixing on these or know if you can actually get spare parts for these from ebay or something?

Omega General Help / X30XE rich enough to not even idle?
« on: 27 March 2017, 11:44:46 »
I have a weird problem.
First things first, car came to me as "died while driving" and didn't start.
Replaced stuff like plugs, coil, crank sensor no luck. Finally I found out that the crank gear had spun so timing was completely off.
Now with that sorted out it actually starts and runs.. well sort off.
Everything plugged in correctly, it only runs with pedal to the floor or close to it and smells god awful and gives me a headache, just like it was running REALLY rich.
If I then go and create a vacuum leak, it actually idles now, which again makes me think it's getting flooded with fuel.
When I take the Idle Control Valve hose off the pipe going to intake manifold, it idles at 900-1000rpm and sort of drives if I keep the pedal down enough.
I tried to find a vacuum leak at first with brake cleaner but there aren't any I think. Also if I take a vacuum hose off and spray near it, it actually dies instead of revving up like it usually does with a carb cleaner when you have a vacuum leak.
But why? What causes this? I really got no ideas.
Engine light is not on either so can't even get a clue from that.
