Post by: mikeydut on 29 January 2010, 00:15:37

hi i have an omega 2.5 v6 and it turns over and trys to start but fails, when i tuck the spark plugs out and turned it over it didnt seem to spark was thinking could it be the crank sensor or would it be somethink else.

Crank sensor known to throw spurious codes. Does your EML flash when you`re trying to start the car :question

If the EML is flashing check the transponder chip inside the key hasn`t worked loose. (you`ve still got a C/S problem though) Oh, and update your profile, location, car etc :y

New and genuine from VX, but, if your EML light is flashing when you`re trying to start it you need to resolve that problem or it will never start

so if t is the crank sensor and i fit a new 1 that light should go off if thats the problem????

When asked if your EML flashes when trying to start you answered yes, That points to immobiliser problems, so apart from the C/S issue you have an issue with the immobiliser. Have you checked the chip in your key.

Switch ign. on. One of the lights will resemble an engine block (orange). Does it flash when you try and start the car :question

yes

Right, assuming you have a "horseshoe" type key. Remove the blade from the fob and check that the transponder chip is still in place. You can see the chip in this pic(http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z257/belisensis/OMEGAFORUM/transponderchip.jpg)

Have you had the key apart since the last time you started your car, may have fallen out. Have you a spare key with chip. Without that chip it`ll never start and it means a trip to VX for Carpass with key and immobiliser codes recorded.
