I will post in full tomorrow but
I've just bought a 2.6 with known issues just for a play around as it was very cheap.
The symptom was eml on and cutting out
I thought crank sensor and even took a spare to collect
The car was cutting out all over the shop. Not drivable
Codes read, and apart from cat efficiency codes, there were 2 p0340 codes for cam sensor circuit
Unplugged cam sensor. Cutting out totally stopped. Revs limit to 4k. But after a while driving with it unplugged, it drives throughout the range
Anyone seen this before? Ta :y
-
Should say, plugged sensor back in, and within minutes was cutting out again
-
Yup :y second hand sensor should cure it :y just check the wiring for camcover damage...
-
Its probably got damaged wiring or not been fitted correctly so inspect closely.

Yep James had cutting out on our 2.6V6 - under warranty dealer fitted new crank sensor but did not cure. Symptoms like your's but no eml light on, would fire up immediately after a stall. Dealer fitted new cam sensor (again under warranty) - problem cured and no further issues (touch wood!!) - HTH :y

Strangely there's more reports of V6 Cam sensor failure on the Vectra B forums than anywhere else. Very rare on Omega.
