Engine Loom

It bolts to the back of the engine, specifically the 246 head near the coil pack plug 

Just don't bolt it to the plenum... it's not earthed

A slight floor in your reasoning as that capacitor is connected across the feed for both banks and yet you were seeing only miss fire codes on bank 2. Further more, if it was 'robbing' power then it would have self combusted. 

Monitor it carefully would be my advice as the reasoning at the moment does not stand up, here's hoping though

I did in the end get a 301 code. But only once..But like you say in the main it only screwed up the 246 bank.

I believe that suppressor was failing and leaking off some of the current needed by the coil pack/s...Not a complete fail but a slight one enough to give a low feed to the coil pack..

Why not all 6    Not got a clue

Hence the monitor it carefuly........as leaking off a bit of current would make no difference unless it reached the point where it was dropping the voltage by which time smoke would have appeared....hence why it does not add up.

What i will do mark is nip Vx and get a new one and put that one on and see what happens... How am i gonna unbolt that right behind there.

I suppose with it being a omega i will have to have the engine out to cure the radio

Are you getting noise on the radio (it will probably only be on LW/MW)?

Its not to easy to get at but can be done......but check for noise first and if your not getting any then don't bother with it.

Mine had a rev related whine on FM too

Well mines not... radio on fm is fine..Been out in it tonight and it runs better than it ever as since the day i got it...

right now for some of them proper Mv6 wheels mmmmm  Think mine are elite wheels 

[05omegav6]

Them wheels correct for the '03 MV6

[Steve B]

Them wheels correct for the '03 MV6

you have a good memory ..

one of them a little naff so im off hunting next week

I have two in the shed but they need a refurb 

[Steve B]

Well that Never lasted long   

So today It was coil pack plug off and a new one on with a tail.
But yet again once its left to tickover and gets up to temp then 300 & 306 code.....And its Always The minute the fans kick in,

[Marks DTM Calib]

So that points towards a supply issue.......

How have you joined the new plug to the loom?

[Steve B]

How have you joined the new plug to the loom?

New plug had a 6 inch tail...Every join was soldered. Fault is not worse so joins all ok that im sure of.
