On the 2.6 it will be either the airflow meter or coil pack(s)

its easier to take out the headlights and wear goggles when fiddling with hids as they have extremely high pressures inside

Sounds like the bulb or ballast pack under the headlight i would try the bulb first.

Omega General Help / Re: Vauxhall Cam Belt With No Markings

So they are non directional. Would have thought for a belt this was quite important?Vauxhall deleted the marks about 3 years ago (why i don`t know)but as long as you have the locking tools etc its not that important as a general rule if the belt has no arrows on it the writing on the belt must be the right way i.e facing you so you can read it.

ive used the forte stuff serveral times and find it very good but will advise that it can sometimes take 3 bottles of it to completely clear the system

agree with above sounds like a fueling problem to me get hold of a fuel pressure gauge and watch it it should go up to arround 3 bar instantly if it doesn`t i would suspect the pump.

my old mig had done 47k and had NEVER had the cam cover gaskets done but it had been serviced once a year so proves really that its all to do with the breathers and good maintenence!!

Omega General Help / Re: ecu problem [i think]
« on: 26 August 2008, 18:33:38 »Quote
I have never ever ever ever ever ever ever seen a GM gearbox ecu fail. I seriously doubt yours has.Agree with the boy it sound very much like a range switch as i also have never heard of a gearbox ecu failing
Do the LEDs by gearstick always light up as expected, or do the all light up sometimes, or even flash? If this do not light up properly, change selector switch.
Failing that, need to get gearbox ECU codes read. There is a nice chap in Nottingham call Marks DTM Calib who can read codes for you, though he is a busy man trying to move house.
The fact that you can still drive like a manual shows the ECU is still functioning.
One last thing, is the Engine Management light on, and if not, does it come on with ign?

Omega General Help / Re: Changed Driver Side Cam Cover and Got A Surprise!
« on: 26 August 2008, 18:09:52 »Quote
i know they are only 8nm but would any harm be done by being a bit belt and braces and doing them up tighter? Say 15nm?I have seen this before!!!! once only but same bolt and i noticed it also when doing the cam cover gaskets that car is one we sold and serviced from new and we had never been there before there may of been a stony working at the engine plant that left a few loose??
Cant help thinking it would not take much for it to vibrate loose at 8nm? Yes it only holds the cam but the valves aint far away, 8nm only holds the plastic cam covers. I know what your going to say, 8nm is good enough as the book says, but what harm could be done doing it up tighter as, must confess, i am a bit tempted.
:-?But if you look at the way the cam cover sits i don`t think its possiable for the bolt to come out? So makes you wonder how many more there are??
Also please do not over torque your cam bearing caps as two things can and will happen one your engine will loose torque and/or the threads will strip in the head as gumbo the apprentise found out a few years ago LOL

If the pressure switch don`t work the a/c compressor won`t cut in.
