Omega General Help / heater matrix is blown
« on: 20 February 2009, 20:27:41 »
hi my heater matrix is blown and going to bypass is there any problems in doing this
Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
Please can anyone advise we are running out of ideas the engine just cuts out while driving. I did the paperclip test and it didnt show anything. I have read various ideas on here and have cleaned out everything advised and fitted a new icv valve. It is still cutting out. Changed spark plugs and ht leads after seeing the leads were covered in oil from leaking gasket which we have also changed along with the rocker cover. Did the paperclip test again and code 17, 21, 31 & 57 came up. We have now bought a new crankshaft sensor but still cutting out. How many things do we have to keep changing and if we drive it like this will it do any harm? Please help running out of money fast!mine has the same problem i have a v6 3.0l i have chang my chank sensor and is still doing it have bin told it may be the air mass sersor try that it may help
Hihi do you mean the airflow meter or intake air temp sensor or am i totally wrong
This sounds to me to be the air mass sencer in the trucking from the air filter, may be the fuse link is on the way out, usual signs may be engine hot but temp ok, fuel comsumtion a bit high if you can souce another to try first, they are expensive about 80.00 plus and i think their are two.
See how you go
