Omega General Help / OMEGA 2.6 v6 2001 CUTS OUT WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP
« on: 04 November 2012, 22:36:29 »
Hi All. Just wondering if anyone has encountered a problem on their Omega cutting out when slowing to a stop. This seem to happen now and again especially when coming up to a roundabout or slowing in traffic. The engine management light does not come on so even the dealer has no idea but they are trying to sell me either an ECU or a Throttle Body all at expensive cost but with no guarantee that it will solve the problem. Also if parking in town doing some shopping when doing a stop start manouvre into a space and with the engine revs low the car then decides to revv on its own between 400rpm to 1,000 rpm and then cuts out. The car always starts straight away and the problem may not happen for days and than may happen 4 to 5 times in one journey. The car never cuts out when just starting from cold always seems to be when it is at normal temp. A guy lives around the corner from me has an omega 2.0 petrol 1998 and cut out in the outside lane and also had cutting out problem at junctions - like me. He had his crank sensor done that solved the cut out whilst driving but did not solve the revving then cutting out at junctions issue. He replaced his MAF but to no avail. Somebody said it could be blocked breather but on the V6 not sure wher they are in relation to a 2.0. My car has done 80000 with cam belts done. I am beginning to get worried as i have a family and worry that it will cut out anytime at a dangerous place. Problem is making car become unreliable and no longer makes journeys enjoyable. Please help.
