Omega General Help / Gearbox change down problem

« on: 27 February 2011, 14:10:54 »

I am new to this great forum and so far it has helped me sort out a lot of issues with my 51 3.2 Elite. However I'm stumped with a recent gearbox problem. The car drives fine under normal conditions but brisk acceleration forcing a kickdown brings on a flashing EML which then changes to permanently on. The engine then runs very lumpy and I have to pull over, switch off and on then it clears it.

I checked for fault codes and got P0742 - Torque Convertor Clutch Circuit Stuck on.

I cleared the code and got the car to do the same again but I don't get any more fault codes - is it relevant?

Any ideas on what to do would be much appreciated.

Omega General Help / Cured fault code 0430

« on: 02 June 2010, 22:23:07 »

Hi,

Just joined your amazing forum as I had an eml light appear on my 51 3.2 Elite Estate.

Fault code from pedal test read as 0430 and I narrowed it down to the drivers side O2 sensor nearest the engine.

Disconnected it, reset the computer and the light stayed off. Thought I'd cracked it but the light returned later. This time code 0130.

Back to square one, I read more help on the forum and decided to check the engine breathing.

Cleaned out the pipework which was dirty. Reset the computer and re-connected the sensor.

Now no light - lovely, long may it last.

Hope this may help someone else in a similar situation.

Many thanks for all the excellent advice that has been posted, I've learnt so much.

Terry
