Omega General Help / Re: Passengar Door will not open

« on: 24 March 2011, 14:21:10 »

I had the same problem on my 3ltr. I parked it so the sun was on the door to get it warm, then locked and unlocked the car several times and the door opened. On mine it was a sticking deadlock, might not work but worth a try.

Thanks Abiton, did the paper clip test and found two codes.   -0130 and -0505. Do you know what they are for.?

The garage admited they don't know the problem. The problem is a delay in acceleration when you put your foot down, but when the power comes on, its not even. As I said, the reason they could not find the knock sensor is that there is no wireing in the loom for the sensor. p s.  In Portugal the car is called an Opel Omega 100. I don't know if this helps.

Pull any plug lead off  and the engine "shakes", so I don't think its the coil pack. Does not feel like a misfire, rather like a loose distributor thats altering the timing.

Thanks to those that helped me locate the knock sensor. However the car does not seem to be wired for a knock sensor.
The problem is - on light acceleration it is not right but ok, but if you put your foot down it feels like running with the power of 3 cylinders as though the timing is wrong, then it has bursts of power. It does not feel like a misfire.
So far the garage has fitted a timing belt, , lamba sensor,cam sensor, throttle positioning sensor, new plugs, leads, air filter and airflow meter but the fault is still the same.
Ant ideas welcome.

Thanks for the help in locating the sensor. Will try to fit new sensor over weekend to see if it cures acceleration problem.
Will let you know how I get on.
