don't think there is one, at least I've never discovered it.

check for fuel pressure at thr valve on the fuel rail - depressurise the fuel system by pressing it (shrader valve thing IIRC), then turn ignition on and recheck - if youve got fuel pressure back I don't think you have a fuel cutoff prob.

There is no fuel cut off reset switch on the omega, if it will not start is there A= fuel in tank
        B= any eml lights on the dash

It does sound like it could be the crank senor has failed and that will stop fuel to the cylinders to prevent neat fuel getting to the cats.

 get the codes read and if 19 appears it is the crank sensor.

Read the codes and see if there's anything indicating a failed crank sensor. Sounds likely.

ok mate. i thought it may be an immobiliser fault. is it correct if you crank the engine for more than 5 seconds the eml flashes if there is an immobiliser problem???

I believe EML will flash if the immobiliser hasn't been deactivated and if a crank sensor problem it's likely to remain off while cranking.
