Omega General Help / 2.6 V6 Intermittent Starting and Rough Running
« on: 02 March 2023, 00:07:14 »
2.6 V6 had been standing for a couple of months and wouldn't start. Battery charge fine, turned over fine but dead. Looking on OOF immediate answer was crank sensor - changed for Bosch unit (Lucas unit present) and lo it started.
Since then it has messed about - rough running, not starting sometimes - generally not a great confidence booster.
After the last episode following codes read
P0500-4 Vehicle speed sensor malfunction
P0500-C Vehicle speed sensor malfunction
P0300-1 Random/multiple cylinder misfire detected
P0306-1 Cylinder 6 misfire detected
P1612-0
Any wise words where to start looking next? Any connectors that may need breaking and cleaning and if so where are they? Could the ECU be faulty?
Any opinions welcome as even my Fiats didn't behave as badly as this V6!!
