Omega General Help / Lambda Sensors

« on: 11 May 2009, 09:28:19 »

Hi, my 3.0 V reg elite has just failed its emissions test, i have replaced everything else bar the sensors.

Been trying to get a price on them which varies, i have been told that i cannot fit standard / generic 3 wire sensors it has to be GM or ones made specificaly.

Are they right?

Omega General Help / Dis Pack

« on: 06 May 2009, 15:33:55 »

Help, I have just bought a new aftermarket dis pack for my V reg 3.0 V6 Elite and have placed the HT leads as per the listing. Does anyone have a correct firing / wiring sequence so that i can double check.

Car feels like its missing one cylinder and pops and farts when driving.

Just replaced both CATS, HT leads, Plugs. Has dealer do a Tech 2 and it threw up that 3 & 5 wernt working. Old dis pack was corroded at the 4 & 1 end. There was oil in the left bank spark plug hole sand this has been rectified. Right bank was dry.

Loosing patience now!

Omega General Help / Re: 15.7 MPG! Time to get the Granny Cossie Out

Thank you one and all for your replies.

I do a lot of samll journeys but even then i was averaging 22 -23 MPG. We went up to the Lake Distraict a while ago and could only get an average of 19 on the motorway at 70 - 75 on cruise.

Going to give all the above a try, and to put my right foot on a little bit of a diet!

Omega General Help / 15.7 MPG! Time to get the Granny Cossie Out

« on: 23 November 2008, 18:52:04 »

Please Help, I have read many of the guides posted on the forums and still have a problem with my 3.0 Elite Estate with POOR MPG

I have :-

Changed HT Leads
Changed Plugs
Changed Fuel Filter
Cleaned Breathers
Cleaned Throttle Body
New Set of Second Hand Injectors
New Rocker Cover Gaskets

All of the above have made no differance to MPG.

Idles at 500 RPM which makes the clock lights flicker

Still goes like stink although acceration is not as smooth (feels like a rotary engine)

When i got it at 85 K was doing about 27 MPG but as i carry a bit of kit in the back i was happy for that to drop a bit (Now at 87 K)

Sometimes power steering is really heavy or if i rev hard after starting will be really light

Sounds asmatic from under the top hat, had that off cant see any potential air leaks

Water temp stays at around 90

Goes through all the gears okay

Cruise works

Instant MPG goes up to 9999 etc on deceleration

Missus getting the hump with it and me, cant blame her

ANY IDEAS, PLEASE!!!!

PS My Granny Cossie does 26 MPG with a faulty overdrive!!
