I've noticed that my car is sluggish once it warms up. OK when first starting.
I've been trying to save fuel so I can pay for Christmas lol, would that cause it

You don't have a paperclip? :D
Seriously that is all you need for 2.5 V6, some TD's can also be done as well. See here:

Helps if you tell us what engine exactly you have ;)
-
A proper one, a V6 :D
You can keep your oil burners!

If you stick your location in your profile, you might find someone with a proper code reader lives nearby and can assist...... :)

I followed the guide with the paperclip, and got nothing.
Any other ideas?
-
Are you doing it correctly, correct pins, etc, does the EML Light come on with Ing. on?
-
Whereabouts are you? ???
-
I'd be very surprised to see an Omega of that age with no codes what so ever. Sure you are doing it right?
-
FWIW, I had this problem on a car once. It turned out to be that the intake air ducting had come adrift just behind the radiator and the engine was ingesting hot air from behind the rad. As soon as the thermostat opened, I got hot air in the intake and, surprisingly, this cause enough of a power loss for it to be immediately noticeable.
On an Omega, this is less likely, since an air leak into the multiram ducting would bypass the MAF and cause more serious running issues, but it might be worth checking the ducting for leaks. In addition, check if the inlet to the airbox from the pipe in front of the radiator is still connected and, of course, if a "performance" air filter is fitted this is likely to cause the same symptoms.

I followed the guide and I think I have connected the paperclip OK
Does that mean there is nothing wrong wif it

Thank you kevin wood I shall check in daylight.
I cant hear any hissing that Id experienced with some other cars sucking air.
Air filter is the normal one for the Omega but from a local shop. Cud that make a difference?

What would be costs? As the test with the wire shorting out the plug in the fusebox doesnt show anything will there be any faults?

I'd take Marks DTM up on his offer, I've met him in person (several times!) and can vouch for his honesty/integrity :y
If that falls through, I'm only in Brackley, and in a few days will have a new toy I'm dying to play with :-X (with a fallback should new toy not work)

I have been busy before going on a cruise and we arrive back soon.
Not used the car for nearly 3 weeks so maybe something will reset. If not, can marksdtmcalib or the boy contact me please

I am now in a position to assist, fell free to drop me a PM. I could have been in Daventry today, as Mrs TB goes once a month, had you said earlier!
