Omega General Help / Re: Crank Sensor maybe?

« on: 22 February 2014, 21:39:51 »

Just my luck...............went out to move the car tonight and she wouldn't start..............just turning over again   

Lifted the bonnet and there it was, a broken fuel pipe.................happy days............ive repaired her, but tomorrow morning will have to crack open the fuel lines again to remove the blocked air...............I could really scream at this rate !!!

Guys
    We have a result.................she has fired up     

New leak off pipes.........then cracked open each of the fuel lines whilst the wife turned the key until fuel squirted out, then cracked each one back up......this in turn, then she fired and is all good.

Only issue now is the EML is on and she wont rev above 1200 rpm..........so Im going to put the old crank sensor back on to see if it makes a difference, then if not may try the boost pressure sensor off off my 2.2dti Frontera.........she also seems to have a very small mis fire...

But the main thing is she is working under her own steam.........................

Thanks for the support and advise, really appreciate it.

Hi Guys
       Well, I've taken a chance and fitted a new crank sensor...............and she still wont fire   ;-(       

Any thoughts on next steps other than doing a basil fawlty and whacking her with a stick........

I'm thinking tomorrow of replacing the leak off pipes and maybe cracking open a fuel line to ensure I'm getting fuel through..

But any help would be great..........

Omega General Help / Crank Sensor maybe?

« on: 16 February 2014, 21:47:04 »

Hi Guys
        My 2.2dti 2001 estate is poorly and will not start................she will turn over and try to fire but wont  ;-(     ,And after a few moments of trying to fire there is a cloud of white smoke out of the back............

I've had a family mechanic read the codes with his Snap on reader (looked like a tablet in shape for info purposes) and there aren't any codes coming on, but he did say on live data there was no signal from the crank.........

Would this be true?  Would there be no signal without giving a code?  If its not crank sensor, what else could be wrong...........leak off pipes etc?

Any help would be gratefully received......

Morning all
                Finally got to the leads on the starter.................there is constant power going to her on the thicker lead, then on the small lead on the starter, there is power going to it when the ignition is turned.........

Now this is where my knowledge isn't too good.  Is this normal?  Should I be getting power as described above?

Sorry for being thick

Hi all
    Ok, so Ive tried to jump her off my Frontera, nothing, no clicking from the starter.........I can only hear a relay clicking.
ive been underneath her and tapped the starter, still nothing so I guess the next thing is to see if there is power going to the start, but is there an easy way to test it as Ive seen the heat shield over the turbo, then the bloody starter has a heat shield that looks like its secured to the engine under the turbo, making it not accessible.

Im sure there has got to be an easier way, but I hope you guys may know..

Omega General Help / EML Code reading

« on: 28 January 2014, 19:30:55 »

Guys
    Just wondered if there was anyone local to Tamworth (midlands) that had a code reader that wouldn't mind popping around to mine to read the codes on my Omega Dti??

Cheers
