Looking at this on ebay for the stag do john o'groats run;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1999-VAUXHALL-OMEGA-ELITE-V6-AUTO-SILVER_W0QQitemZ290420095692QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item439e62facc
He's quoted its the cam sensor??? Do you think this is causing the rough running?
Thanks in advance......
-
According to advert he got code 19 which is crank sensor not cam sensor.
-
no....and yes....
the code 19 is crank sensor, which causes bad running to breakdowns.
cam sensors normally reliable on the v6's
so he has 1 code....but lists a different fault....going by the code, £50 odd quid fix :y
-
Yeah i checked the code out to be a crank sensor too but i was just guessing that he got the two mixed up.
Im going to have a look at the car anyway, but wondered if there was a way to check the sensor or just change it in someones drive.
So... Recon i can change it easily? I dont know where it is as ive never worked on a 2.5.
What do we think to the car other than that?
Cheers

Ive just read through Vmax old posts and it seems that this stalling problem is a bit of an issue. He seems to have tried numerous things to fix it and not suceeded so im a bit worried about buying it.
Anyone else have any ideas as to what it may be?

Clean ICV and fit new MAF sensor :y
Wipe code 19 and see if it reappears.
