max 4,5k rpm and power loss
« on: 06 October 2010, 00:26:36 »
Hi.
I got a 1995 Omega 2.0L Ecotec 16v GL Sedan
sometimes when i start it then the warninglight comes on and it can only go to 4,5k rpm before it stops and it seems like it's lost alot of power. i didn't mind so much about it since it used to be enough with re-starting the car, but now it happens all the time, anyone know what's wrong?
it's got all required fluids and service wasn't long ago.

38   O2 Sensor 1 Circuit Voltage Low

Ignore it, get a genuine cam sensor and it should clear both codes :y

Bit far, even for you Lee :D

Have a look in the Maintenance Guides, I think someone has done a guide, could be wrong.
