Just a quick hello to you all
I have a 2.5 v6 24v Auto which is giving me alot of greif at the min could do with some advise if anyone could help.
The car will not start its turning over but not firing up sometimes the engine managment light will flash but not all the time and the radio went into safe mode ???? i have been told that Omega's dont like running low on fuel and that could be one reason the other i was told is that it could be my key fob ??? any idea's guys many thanks

Read paperclip test in the maintenance section. Post up the results here. Sounds like crank sensor. Please tell me it's got fuel in it now???
-
If your EML light is flashing it means its not received the signal from the keyfob...has the battery in the fob gone flat perhaps?? Means the immobiliser isnt disarmed...
If battery in fob is ok maybe re synch the fob...namely put key in ignition and into ignition position 2 and press fob button (when its done the central locking locks/unlocks or something I believe)...then lock/unlock with the fob and see if its sorted :)

Right enough if the EML is flashing rather than lit then immobiliser.

Transponder is not powered by battery, so flat (or no) battery in remote won't affect.

Oh yeah sorry I'm talking out my backside...battery is for central locking lol but reset procedure may well re synch the key fob right? Thus being able to turn off immobiliser...

I had same prob last week. Would start if left overnight and from very hot, but never from luke warm. I replaced the fuel pump as i thought it was fuel pressure but after wasting my money i soon realised that the crank sensor was at fault. If only i had listened to user on this forum i would be a fuel pump lighter and £47 better off. :'(
Now the car starts on key every time :D
-
has the battery been disconnected to cause the radio issue? Ignoring that i would say crank sensor but all issues together are a bit confusing, as i dont think crank sensor would cause the radio safe mode, which would imply the electrical supply has been cut for whatever reason. Has anybody been working on the car?
-
ps defo do paperclip test.

and charge your battery ! :y

ps defo do paperclip test.
Right guys did the paper clip test and these are the codes that came up
19
135
144
If anybody has any advice for me regarding these codes or they now how to reset the alarm system i would be very thankfull.
-
Ok ignore the rest...19 crank sensor....
Change it and the rest of the codes will most likely go away too and your car will start...but use a genuine Vaux one...

Yep, its located by oil filter, trace the cable up to find the plug? Maybe others can advise the best technique for this, ive had one go but did not change it myself...

Thanks for that and any ideas how much this will cost and could i do this work myself never done one of these before
-
Correct me if I'm wrong but won't the code 19 come up every time anyway?? Due to car not starting??
The code 144 is probably more pertinent being "Immobiliser No Signal " ??
I would go back to basics, checking connections to battery, try starting the engine with your spare key etc etc
Just my thoughts

Nope, 31 is the standard code for a non running engine, 19 is a crank sensor bad signal. Immobiliser codes are often flagged under crank sensor faults.
The crank sensors are easy to fit, where abouts in Nottingham are you?

Tried and tested all connections fully charged batt and tried both keys still comming up with same 3 codes
I would have thought the same regarding code 19 as the engine not running. It wants to start its killing me

Thank you very much for the help
The part should be with me tomorrow all being well then i just have to fit it. Looked at the pic and it doesnt seem to bad going to have a look in engine bay when i get back to see if i can locate the part.

For future ref, no. transponder isn't rolling code, so no resync necessary or possible.

My Partner bless her kicked up a stink at sutton Auto Factors and the rest is history. God i hope this is the problem but with what has been said cannot see how it can be anything else

I hope they are sending the right one....as there are two connector varients (hence why I posted the Vx part number!)
