The boy, were there any missfire codes stored...?

Sorry, I've slept and drank since I last saw it...

I seem to recall not, I think all the misfires I saw at the time (October-ish?) on Silver facelifts were on Rock's car...

Hopefully, should see Effone this week and see whats stored, if anything.

Its got a manual box, so that won't have any effect, but will look in ABS for DTCs as well.

hi folks, sorry for the late reply but i'm so busy at work i don't have my normal amount of surfing time available..!!

thanks to everyone for the info - interesting stuff about the coil packs being for the 2.5 / 3.0 engines... and not the 2.6 / 3.2 -- just goes to show you shouldn't always trust the 'experts' - thanks marks for the prices, it'll let me know what i might be up against... and thanks theboy for the offer of the TC card... may well make use of that...

sounds... the misfire is pretty much the same (if it is indeed, a misfire), from idle throughout the rev range... although i don't really rev much more than 4.5-5k...

haven't had a chance to look at the breather system although the garage assured me all was ok... the way things are right now it's difficult to even find time to open the bonnet...!!!

anyway, i'll keep y'all posted with any news i get...

cheers,

ian b

Ian, if you're still looking for a decent garage to do any work on your Omega I can put you in touch with the one I use as I don't think you're too far away if you're in Bedfordshire. They're an independent but the guy that runs it was formerly with VX and knows Omega's pretty well, also reasonably priced.

OK, looked at Effone's 2.6 MV6 this evening again...

No DTCs in engine or ABS.

Idles pretty good, but slightly erratic (varies between 630 and 670 rpm).  You can feel an associated vibration with this ever so slightly.

A vibration can be felt through gearstick - much more than expected.

From idle, increasing the revs slowly, and it picks up as expected. From idle, revving quickly, there is a slight hesitation (not a misfire in my book though).

At around 3500rpm, a whistle is heard....

Definately no misfire in my book (and 2.6/3.2 ECUs do store misfires anyway, and no DTCs stored).


I have suggested a throttle body clean to assist with the slight erratic idle, a breather clean as always worthwhile, changing the 6 plenum O rings as a matter of course, and check for air intake leaks...

Any other ideas?

BTW, I really do have a soft spot for that car....
