Newbie Welcome Area / Re: Engine shutting down.
« on: 07 September 2014, 15:40:33 »
a good place to start would be to check the easy things first like, is the fuel getting to the engine and is the spark getting to the plugs.
if you get fuel and spark maybe a code reader needs to be attached to tell you if there's a bigger problem.
people on here have code readers, see if you can find someone close to you who can read the cars codes for you.. if you can here is a site to tell you the results meanings

Ive had a code reader on it and it gives

P0170 fuel trim bank 1
P0141 O2 sensor heater circuit bank 1 sensor 2
P0036 HO2S heater control circuit bank 1 sensor 2

The P0141 O2 sensor heater circuit bank 1 sensor 2. .
I believe to be the exhaust senser.

When I checked it out it was so loose it was wobbling about. I took it out cleaned it and reinstalled, but its possible its broken with the vibrating it must of dun while being loose.

The P0036 is allso something to do with the exhaust senser I believe. .

The P0170 fuel trim bank 1. . Thats the MAF sensor I believe. .

 All these parts expensive for my model of car, so I'd like to get it right as soon as possible to save wasting money So here's my question? Which sensor would you say is the 1 causing the missfire? Which one needs replacing? Thanks for any help

I bought a code reader and the code I got was
(1)P0650 - malfunction indicator lamp (mil) control circuit
Which is the engine service light is faulty. . True its not working. .
(2)P1781 engine torque signal circuit..
Gear box problem I believe. . Not sure on that one
(3)P0141 O2 sensor heater circuit bank 1 sensor 2..
A oxygen sensor on the exhaust just after the manifold..
On checking it out.. I was amazed to find it loose rattling around. . Cleaned and retightened.
Thats all the codes.. yet if the MAF sensor is fitted while starting the car from cold its very sloppy.. back firing.. cutting out.. disconnect it and car runs good.. yet no fault code... help

Omega General Help / Re: stop light warning light mystery
« on: 14 July 2014, 17:44:33 »
Yeah tried that before the mot.. the bulb that was in it was working if I pressed the pedal.. yet warning light would still come on.. just didn't work on mot day.. go figger.
Bought new one still the same..
I had cleaned it all before the mot just to make sure..
the bulbs are probably all made in some factory somewhere and sold to different companies who put there own packaging on it and sell it to us..
You could pay £0.99p for a bulb or £5.99p. For another but inside the pack could be identical bulbs.. how would we be able to tell?

« on: 14 July 2014, 17:02:08 »
I have a brake light warning light come on every now and then. It would of failed its MOT at kwik fit but I paid £5 for new bulb if they fitted it, it would pass MOT.. umm.
So did it and 2 days later warning light on again.. if I press the brake fairly hard the light goes out and stays out for a few days before warning me again.. so I was thinking about the brake light switch ,seems as all 3 brake lights work..
I could be wrong but gotta be worth a check?

Omega General Help / Intake Backfire
« on: 14 July 2014, 16:52:41 »
Hi to All
I have the Omega 2.2 sport Auto

When my car is cold it fires up instantly. . But it backfires bad through the intake.. and I can't rev the engine. And then it blows its self off ..stops..

I have to keep starting it and gradually i get to be able to rev it..

Then once warm its pretty good. .
It runs quite well I get 29mpg around town witch is quite good for a 2.2.

Sometimes if I stop say at a shop when I restart it, it runs rough. .
So I turn it off then start it again and its fine.

If I disconnect the MAF sensor it gets a tiny bit better but Bearley noticeable. .till next time its cold.

If I disconnect the ignition coil pack then reconnect it seems better.. till next time its cold.

Is this a brake down of the MAF sensor?
Or a brake down of the ignition coil pack?
Or something like spark plugs?
Or other sensors?

Im stumped!

I Would be most grateful for any help. .

Thanks
