do a paperclip test and post up fault codes

try cleaning the IACV theres a guide in the maintenance section that may cure it

at worst itll only be a sensor which on a 4pot is fairly easy to change

paper clip test? http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1189022687
senser / 4pot? sensor = small electronic / electric parts that help the car's onboard computer store faults in your car on parts having a sensor. 4 pot = 4 cylinder engine
im new to problems with a omega but they are great cars.


Check out my highlights in yellow above mate. Hope this answers your questions. The link will take you to the page explaining the paper clip test

btw, the "search" function is handy. just put in the right keywords, and you'll have several helpful results  ;) :y

Cheers  :y :y :y

Ziad.

EDIT: I must learn to type FASTER!  ;D
