no cable ok , if i use throttle from engine end .. same fault .. it's like its gasping for fuel if that makes sense  it's only a moment before pick up..  if i increase the revs ever so slightly better  just thinking i have some weight in the back at the moment would that effect throttle response,,,,, grabbing at straws now arn't i

Omega 3.0 elite estate 1997  car was not starting , well would with a lot of effort, so i odb2 came up low voltage MAF, so i purchased a new MAF fitted. cleared error codes runs ok. the problem i have before the problem MAF i could turn the key no throttle startup no problem, no i need to apply a little throttle to start, also if engine idling, and i depress the throttle quickly ,, there is a slight delay before pick like dead spot
if i depress normally seems ok, i have ordered a new air filter to see if its that. i have been told it takes 20 miles for the ecu to setup after MAF fitting .... is that True?

Also looking at the back of the engine top under scuttle there is a Rubber Hose about an inch across not connected no clip on it can not see where it goes looks like it goes down to the sump could it be a breather, please advise

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / locking and kurb light not working on one door

« on: 05 July 2007, 12:38:12 »

hi just thouight i would let you all know i have solved the mysterious problem ..
my alarm horn went up in smoke the other month.. just as i was driving smoke in the car night mare..
got a new horn and loom ready to fit.. but first i needed to find the electrical short that caused the problem,,  since the smoke, my drives passenger door would not lock any more.. plus the curb lights on the door was not working either, so first checked the fuse under the dash , that was ok. now this fuse 20amp handles the central locking and the kurb light. when removed ,, yes u gueased it the locking did not work and no kurb lights on all doors replace it all working bar that drivers passeger door.

so i traced all the way to the rubber cable cover which goeas from piller to door,, two broken wires,, repaired all ok.. i spoke to some one at gm and the said it was a design fault,, so i replaced the brken cable with a rubber coated wire, which can handle more door opening and closing.. so if you get a locking or door light problem ,, put this on your check list

Omega General Help / alarm

« on: 30 April 2008, 18:04:33 »

a rock went under my car a few moths back then suddenly smoke started poring in through the vents ,,, nightmare stopped lifted the bonnet and noticed a smell of burning,, oh by the way i could not turn the engine off, took key out still ran , had to remove relay.. anyway
found that the alarm horn was burntout, i meen realy burnt, chared a few wires round the box... so i removed it and got hold of a second hand one on ebay.. while i was waiting i put the car up on ramps to see what damage the rock had done.. to my suprise nothing a small dent in the sump, but nothing to wright home about.....

a few day later the alarm sounder arrived i refitted it and rewired the bad wiring.
test.... central locking works red light on dash flashes , drives 100%
when i lock it indicators flash doors lock..

so im stummped. how can i test to see if the sounder is working, im impuzzled about the rock and why the sounder should go up in smoke :-/
