Omega General Help / 2.6L V6 engine dies with out any clues
« on: 22 May 2024, 14:47:49 »
Yesterday my 2.6L Omega just died on me when turning in to a parking lot. Then totally dead, wouldn't start.
Called a neighbour that has a tow truck and she came and picked me up. When we have unloaded at home it started without any problem.
I assumed it was the fuel pump that had gone bad and replaced it this morning, I had a spare on the shelf.
Took it for a drive now (about 25 miles) and when almost at home it died again, in the same way. No fault engine lamp, just looks normal but wouldn't start. I waited about 15 minutes and it started up looking good.
Drove it home and checked for codes and nothing at all.
I'm confused, it is hard to know what could have gone wrong. We have kind of warm weather now but it is only about 20°C so wouldn't cause anyhting.
But apparently something shuts off and is OK after a while when it has cold down a bit.
Some sensor that is faulty?
