Omega General Help / 2.0 16v problems

« on: 27 February 2008, 21:54:38 »

Hi again chaps!!

My car is still playing up, still coming up with the 19 code on the paperclip test.

I have so far;

Cleaned the IACV and the breather jet as described on this forum,
replaced spark plugs,
replaced the camshaft sensor (that code was up but now gone)
replaced the crankshaft sensor (that code is still up)
Found the cam timing was out so reset the belt to correct marks
 
AND STILL THE PROBLEM IS THERE!!

Car still sounds as if the timing is out when trying to start and being a idiot to get going and that bloody code is still up with the paperclip test!!!

Really starting to get to me now! please can anybody advise on what to check next before I start smoking again!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks chaps

Frankie

Omega General Help / 2.0 16v timing marks

« on: 24 February 2008, 15:48:52 »

Hello again chaps,

Have not got a manual for the car, but i think the cam belt has jumped a few teeth, can anybody help out with information on where the camshaft timing marks are positioned? Again they are probably staring me in the face, but my problem with being blind to everything simple does cause me to ask daft questions!!

If anyone has a picture reference showing where they are that they could put on line for me, that would be even better!!

thanks guys and gals!!!

Regards

Yeah, crankshaft sensor has been changed at the same time as the rest of them. really at a loss now!!

Military road? I live in Eastbourne Avenue ( Brockhurst Road end) just round the corner.

Could it be likely that the wire`s connecting the crank sensor are dodgey? Think I am just clutching at straws though. also it sound like its pinking when started and revved. old crank sensor practically fell apart when removed.

This is really starting to get to me now, ear bashing from the missus etc!! frustrating is not the word!!

Omega General Help / BLOODY CARS ANNOYING ME NOW!!!!

Hiya!!!

Hope you guys can help?
Had a problem with the car (1995 2.0 16v CD) kept cutting out amd proving to be a right bastard to start, and if it did start it would cut out again after a few miles. I have cleaned out the IACV and the breather jet.
Saw on the forum how to do the paper clip test. I had the codes 19,73 and 92.

I read them as,

19 = crank sensor
73 = Airflow temp
92 = Cam sensor
 
Change the sensors an did the paper clip test again, this time it came up with just 19 = crankshaft sensor

Car still buggers about on starting and only does it when it wants to under much protest.

sounds like its timing is way out when turning over. but when its running the fiancee says it pulls like a train. can`t test it out myself as my licencse does`nt come back until april.

Is there anything else i can try? or will anything else bring up that code?

Thanks in advance guys

Regards

Frankie

« on: 16 February 2008, 10:49:40 »

Can anyone tell me where the crank sensor is exactly on the 2.0 16V  engine?
I think i am just being thick, but I can`t bloody find it!!!

Should have stayed with distributors!!!!!!

Got the car in bits doing the cam sensor and yet have to do the crank job!! thought i would have a lok while the other half gets some tools to finish the job.

thanks

Hello techy type`s  

This has probably been covered many time`s, but how much of a pig is it to change the camshaft and crankshaft sensors on a 1995 2.0 16V ? Have to do it at the week end and some prior knowledge will be useful. (still used to points and a dizzy). anything i should look out for? or handy tips that will be useful?

Regards

Hello, My Name is Frankie, found this site while looking for answers for my fiancee`s poor running Omega 2.0.

Learned a fair bit, paper clip test etc, which to a person who never had a Vauxhall before is bloody usefull, and you all seem like a nice bunch on here. Did`nt know there was a following for these Omega`s!!! More people post on here than they do on my old cortina forums I use for my car!!!

Got lots of little jobs to be getting on with on the car, then time to tackle the bodywork. rear arches and the bonnet has laquer peeling off. car is very solid apart from that. going to change the crankshaft and camshaft sensors at the week end. bit more research from here me thinks.

Anyway hope to talk again soon and I may put up some pic`s of the car when I get a chance and I may have to pick some brains at some point as I am still used to a set of points and a dizzy!

Regards
Frankie
