2000 2.5td omega engine cutting out
« on: 18 September 2011, 20:33:11 »
Hi all Im new to these things and would appreciate some help!
My Omega has been playing up since I bought it 8 months ago.  I will be driving at 40mph say and lift off the accelerator and the engine will cut out completly, if I put my foot down again it will start.  Also if I am changing up the gears when I release the clutch and try to accelerate she will just die then after a couple seconds power off! During both of theses instances the EML is on untill the car is back on the power again.
It has 290,000 miles on it with a head rebuild at 190,000. apart from these problems it drives fine with plenty of grunt left in it!  The only fault coming up is cruise control voltage high, I will check again for anymore faults tomorrow.

Look forward to any replies,  Paul.

My auto done the same thing and the only fix is a new injector pump :(
If the engine wasn't cutting out i'd be thinking along the lines of the EGR/vac pipes also look out for code 34/64 these two are linked.

I'm glad 34 isn't there as for 82 your wright about injector 4 it needs replacing. 
num4 looks at how much fuel is getting to the injectors in general.
I think I might have one lying about in the abyss of a garage  :y
