Omega General Help / SAI pipes

« on: 12 January 2011, 11:16:12 »

Was checking out an iratic idle yesterday to discover the Rubber hose to the SAI valve and the valve melted in places. Anybody had this before and know of a cause for this problem. I can find a replacement hose on Ebay but no Valve. I am describing the plastic valve on the NSF of the engine bay on a 2.5 V6 if anybody can help.

Thanks in advance

John

You have to ensure that the Grit storage reservoir is topped up before you select it though just in-case it runs out.

I thought it was for the weather forecast, you have traffic master built in so I thought it was weather master

Omega General Help / Re: Ever had this fault? autobox

« on: 18 December 2010, 23:25:21 »

I spent a few years at a volvo dealership and they call it the pnp switch. It's filled with a petroleum bases lubricant which in cold weather changes viscosity hampering operation, we used to rapidly move the gear selector between P and 1 30 times and this used to (90%) clear the fault. This would give the customer about another years worth of operation before refurb is required. Worth a try as it's free.

Omega General Help / No Power Steering

« on: 14 December 2010, 22:36:45 »

Just a quick one before I change the Aux belt.
At idle there is no power steering but just brush the throttle and all is well. No screeching and the tensioner seams to be fine so before I change the Aux belt just wanted to ask if it may be something else?

Cheers in advance

Lack of output is usually the sign you have a poor earth connection. Check the earths on the car and see if that helps.

Autobox uses oil to transfer power and has very few parts if any that would cause a knocking sound. The gearbox light is telling you there is an electrical issue with one of the gearbox inputs/outputs. The car may now be in limp mode to prevent damage to the box. Not sure if you can read gearbox fault codes with a cheat, sorry

Might be a silly ?? but does the car select D and move, Even if the g/box went the fluid flywheel would still allow the engine to run as normal.
Select each gear in turn and hold it there for 30 seconds to see if the gearbox noise changes, do this twice

Cured
  My fault really, when I have taken out the old crank sensor I never noticed the old oil seal has not came with it, so when I have put the new sensor in it has not seated correctly and not made correct contact. Old seal removed and cleaned, new sensor fitted and hey presto fires first time. Eml light clears also, quick code check and all clear.

Car was cranking fine till battery finally gave up, but not even a whif of it firing up. Have proven fuel to the injectors and removed plug 1 to confirm no spark. Hence why I went for crank sensor first (knew it can go and give no code). Eml light has only shown up after sensor replaced.
Knock 2 should not stop the car starting but if it is faulty I assume the dispack has taken a fatal hit.

If the weathers dry tomorrow I will check the cable. Never removed the old crank sensor from the loom so may revert back to the original state and start again. Will keep you all posted
