could someone please help im pulling my hair out.
i have a 2003 2.2 cdx auto 43000miles.
for the last 7 weeks my car has been passed between garages.
first the eml light came on but only every now and then.sometimes it would start up and no light.
then it started playing up big style. if the car was cold it would run but very lumpy.but when it reached running temperature the throttle would go dead.
took it to vauxhall for tech test and came up with cam position sensor so had it replaced to no avail.
took it back to have it retested to which they refused to let me drive the car away due to throttle unresponsive.after paying them 4 hours labour they informed me the ecu was defective and quoted £1268 to replace and reprogramme.
decided to get a local mechanic to have the ecu sent off for repair.it came back with no fault found.so he had an auto electrician come in who confirmed ecu was defective.
no power to throttle body
no power to throttle position sensor
no power to egr valve
no power to cam position sensor.
so had the ecu sent back for repair and again came back no fault found so phoned them up to explain what has been reported by auto electrician and vauxhall.
they informed me that its a common fault on omegas but they say the fault is with the wiring loom and not the ecu.
if its that common has anybody come across this and if so any help would be very helpful as my mechanic is arguing that its the ecu and wants to get a replacement..
