Omega General Help / Re: bad cold starting
« on: 25 July 2008, 18:12:30 »
Cold start was still terrible eml back on tried swapping maf sensor with mine and it started as it should. New maf sensor fitted yesterday started spot on this morning and eml gone off so fingers crossed might be able to put this one to bed because i felt bad because it was my idea for him to get this car and i chose it for him after looking at sevaral over priced pigs. Anyway other than this he thinks its the dogs nads, thanks to everyone who helped. Colin

diagnostic showed crank sensor open circuit, new one fitted yesterday but still a pig to start this morning. so this cured eml but not the original cold start fault aghhh.
