Title: 2.6 engine - know what this plug is?
Post by: gsyme on 21 August 2010, 14:47:31

Hi

I'm hoping someone can tell me what this plug is (in the pic). I was going to change the crank sensor when I saw this plug had pulled away from it's housing and the internal wiring was broken. It's just above the crank sensor plug and behind the engine bracket for the passenger side coil pack.

It also might be the cause of the problem which is hard starting when engine is warm.

If anyone can tell me what this part is it would be a big help. I hope the photo shows, first attempt for me.

Cheers,
Geoff

Have a read of the Guide to V6 Vacuum Pipes (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152565204)

I think you will find that the connector you are looking at should be plugged into the 'Rear Multiram Actuator'

Correct  :y  - just behind plug/connector in photo  ;)

yep, multi ram plug.

see maintanance section for paper clip test, pedal trick within will give any engine fault codes if present re hot starting issue.

Thanks alot, appreciate your help. I tried the pedal test a couple of times and got a constant flashing light but no codes, might mean there are no faults showing?

General question - if anyone knows a decent mechanic/someone who knows what they are doing in South Somerset I've got a job going. The actuator looks a bit tricky for me!

Cheers,
Geoff

Easy job Geoff ;) Skuttle off, 1 plug and 2 vac hoses, 2 bolts and it's off :y

Had another look, you're right. Think I'll give it a go.

I think I would prefer to leave the skuttle in place. Take the upper plenum off and work on the valve on the bench :y
