« on: 09 May 2010, 16:58:19 »
Sometimes when i try to start my omega, it just turns over and doesn't spark, sometimes i can just leave it for a min or 2 and then it'll fire, but other times nothing, i have to have it bump started...   Can anyone help..????

Read the codes mate (paperclip it if no reader) - bet you get a 19 - crank sensor. ;)

Read the codes with the paperclip method.

Could be crank sensor failing at a guess.

If it's your crank sensor then give me a shout as I have a spare bosch one. I got fed up with waiting for the one I had ordered off the internet and went and brought one from a Vauxhall dealer. Then the one that I ordered came the next day.
Check which plug it is and if the one I have matches then I'll post it to you for £30. :y
