After fitting a replacement ECU an ignition ring, chip etc   the car still wouldn't start  checked everything back again, connected the code reader(that now reads codes on the car) an No codes found after attempting to start it.

Check the Purple coloured relays in the engine fuse box, According to Autodata, 2000 model year 2.2, the LH one is fuel pump and RH one ECU control. NOPE opposite way round on my car, Fuel pump relay was dead So off to scrap yard for new one. Fitted it an it started and ran perfectly,  So I refitted the original ECU set up an it started on that as well, So it looks like a 75p relay from the local breakers fixed the problem.  But I'll keep the replacement ecu set up just in case

As I said, mine had a light flashing, I think it was the immobiliser. In my case it turned out to be the key chip reader around the ignition key, which needed a tech 2 ( or compatible  ) to program. First check the chip in your key is still there.

Neither key will start it at the moment, but when it works both keys work,

Do my New code reader will not link upto my 00 2.2 but works on newer car's Grr!

car has worked for 2 days then stopped this afternoon, the Immobilizer light is flashing on the dash now one with pic of car with spanner through it.  the engine light is lighting up as normal then going out when you try to start it.


So could it be a immobilizer fault?  100% fuel pump isn't running while its cranking over.

My omega is playing up,

Started Friday been out in the Evening come back turned it off an it wouldn't restart, turns over fine but wont fire,  Left it overnight, next day same tried it 3-4 times check fuses, Called the AA they turned up an it starts first flick of the key..

Sunday night Non starting, Same Monday morning.  then Monday Eve it starts fine until this evening, come back 40 min's later it wont start,

got 3/4 tank of fuel. Was fully serviced 8k back.

The management light goes off when you turn it over as normal. Should the fuel pump run when you try to start or when it fires? as sure I cant here the pump when its turning over. 

Been monsoon season this evening to can't check under the car.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / 2006 stereo wiring help

« on: 29 April 2011, 13:17:48 »

I'm trying to integrate my THB bury car kit into the stereo wiring. So it mutes the stereo and the cars speakers transmit voice,

I've got traffic master fitted as well, reading the audio manual it can interrupt the stereo like traffic master does. But needs installing by Vauxhall, I really hope this is not the case,

The kit has a mute lead and output for one Speaker.

Thanks in advance

You will need some E torx sockets for the crank pulley bolts, I used E11for the crank. and E8 for the belt cover bolts.
A 6mm allen key for the belt tensioner.
The kit I got on line was a Genuine Gm one! for half the dealer price.

only picture I took is this,



But I can Email you the info from my Auto-data file if that helps.
