Hi Everyone
I have an Omega 2.2 petrol (2002)
When I turn the key first thing in the morning, it fires up without any problem. If I put it straight in drive and drive away there is no fault. If I sit for about 10 seconds the engine will misfire really badly and is undrivable but if I switch off the engine and turn the key again it will fire up again without the misfire.
I have fixed the oil leak into the plugs, replaced the MAF Sensor, replaced the plugs and the air filter and cleaned all the breather pipes but still the same. The coil pack and rubbers are all in very good condition.
Any idea's please?
I am about to buy a diagnostic tool but with so many on the market, does anyone know of one thats better than the others?
Thanks in advance
Andrew

have you done done a paper clip test see if there is any codes stored, would think its a cam sensor fault, dose engine go into limp mode with the ecu light on when the fault happens?

Hi Freecall666
Thanks for your reply.
I dont know how to do a paperclip test 
When I started it this morning and let it run rough, I did uplug the cam sensor and it made no difference to the way it run, would this help confirm your thoughts?
When it does this there are no lights that come on, I havent seen any lights come on the dash at all

Need a code reader on the 2.2

Coil pack could be braking down, or as with mine blanking of the EGR helped.
