Omega General Help / Re: a few problems!

« on: 15 May 2011, 14:31:50 »

ok, well the steering feels fine, i started having a look at the abs tc ecu to see what 1 i need to get and i found the big plug that goes into the ecu wasnt in right.
pulled it off and cleaned it up , now the TC light is off!
the strange thing is the big plug doesnt seem to fit in its socket it doesnt seem to be the same shape?
is there different ABS ecu s for these cars?
It looks to me its been touched before , maybe they fitted the wrong one?
how can i find out which abs ecu my car should have?


thanks mike

hi, i just changed it , because the car would only run for about 10mins then die, changed it then the car worked, could the code need removing?
or could the new crank sensor cause bad running?
im starting to get confused!

thanks mike

where can i get the shocks from? pattern parts are fine for it.

right i done the paperclip test

here goes;

19 incorrect RPM (car not running i suppose)
48 battery voltage low
17 knock signal circuit 2 (whats that?)
57 idle air control low
73 mass airflow sensor voltage low
21 throttle position sensor voltage low

alot of low voltage! what does that all mean and how do i go about sorting it?

thanks mike

well it is proberly the abs ecu then as my speedo doesnt work!
where is that located?
i will go and do the paperclip check in a min, see whats showing up.
The thermostat is opening up fine.
yes there was oil in the plug holes, i cleaned them out and fitted new leads but made no difference.
i think im going to need new shockers, where is the best place for these?

sorry for all the questions but i wont learn about these cars if i dont ask!

thanks mike

Hi , im new to omegas and ive just bought 1 and its got a few probs with it.

its a 3.0 elite estate P reg.

the 1st prob is it runs rough at low revs like its got a missfire
i pulled of a lead at a time to check but all of them didnt seem to make any difference.

2nd prob is that it runs very hot at 100c , the privious owner had wired up the fan with a switch , it doesnt overheat when you leave the fan on.
i have flushed the cooling system but didn t achieve anything.
3rd prob is the abs  and TC lights are on.
the car feels like a boat it wallows all over the place ,is this normal?
Also where is the best place for parts, mail order if possibly as im in France.

if anyone can point me in the right direction i would be very gratefull




thanks mike
