Could be the crankshaft sensor. They do tend to go without warning.

But why would lights etc not be working if it was the crank sensor? :-?

Sounds to me like a totally electrical problem.

No mention of lights not working

Yes that was first implied and then confirmed by him in answer to my questioning post.

No. Dont agree. He didn't mention lights not working and you confused him. He would not get out of the car to check the lights with all the other stuff going on. I think he meant warning lights and, as we know, with crankshaft sensor failure, all kinds of weird things happen. I may be wrong but it would be my first port of call.

He only mentions warning lights

ORIGINAL POST:
"Just parked and every thing was normal. 45 mints later, tried to start on with no luck? the car just went silent all of a sudden! thought it was battey failliar so I did connect the battery to another car's
the car started with things going wrong like warning lights, no radio, Safe, check, and runs no faster than 10km/hr. and when switched off, did not start again. so amazing, what is going on? Please help
Omega 3.2 2003 "

I then asked:

A bit confused with what you have described, but are you saying when the battery is in your car nothing works?? :-? :-?   Engine won't turn and no lights, radio or anything else?? :-? :-?

In your other car everything is working "strange"?? ( Have you connected the battery correctly in this car??) :-? :-?

HASAM THEN ANSWERED:

"yeh [in answer to my question], is it a battery failiar?
how can I get my car running "

Yep, after three different threads on this one I am confused, let alone the guy himself!!

I give up; take over please!!

By the way STMO you stated:
"No. Dont agree. He didn't mention lights not working and you confused him. He would not get out of the car to check the lights with all the other stuff going on.

You could well be right, but the interior lights are normally a clue as to lights working or not.

3 identical posts + communication issues = total confusion.

Still cant see any reference to lights (apart from Lizzie's) but the guy did say warning lights.

Needs to get out fault codes.  Tend to agree with STMO123 - crank sensor.

It is a classic, panicky reaction to his car not starting and lots of warning lights flashing. The initial thought is always one of disaster. A cool, methodical response with the right questions being asked is usually best. Unfortunately,  he went offline very quickly and I hope he's not ripping his car to bits.

Indeed STMO, and I just hope he is following the main thread of the three!!

So the car starts and runs? Not an immobiliser problem then.

Look in our Maintenence Guides section for a post called Paperclip and Pedal Trick and report back stored codes.

The car starts only when battary connected to another car's? then almost runs @ max accelaration. I would request you to please send the referred to maintnance guide PLEEEEEAAAAASE!

Maintainance guides are easy to find but use this link to read about the paperclip test/ pedal trick

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1189022687

Please do try to give us as much of a description as possible.  I must admit to not understanding the car running at max 10km/hr then when connected to another battery is at max revs... max revs will deliver speeds well in advance of 10km/hr!

edit: beat me to it: must type faster
