Omega General Help / Re: 2.2 petrol start up misfire ?
« on: 12 September 2008, 23:17:55 »
possible oil in plug recess due to cam cover leaking, the reason I say this is mine done exactly the same due to oil, causing the rubber shrouds over plugs to rot or perish allowing spark to track to cylinder head and cause miss fire for approx 15-20 secs, mine would then be fine allday untill engine left to cool, then would miss fire again.

sounds like the rev counter it's self, possibly easier to live with untill it gets worse, then remove instrument cluster and replace.

very easy, should be able to do easily in an hour, very basicly remove fan belt, then remove front plastic cam belt cover, you will then see cam sensor between cam pulleys held in place with 1 small bolt remove bolt and pull sensor upwards out between cam pulleys remove cable, replace and refit.

Hi davey davey, did you not have any coolant stains anywere under the bonnet were it sprayed out, what I mean is I can see hbv valve and can not see any antifreeze stains around it or any connecting pipes, I am still at a loss, still considering head gasket but again have to admit no aapparent symptons, will try what you have suggested.
