« on: 27 November 2008, 19:02:05 »
yeah it had come to my mind about the lpg being incorrectly mapped when i get some time i will try relocating the o2 sensors as for the circuit malfunction this has ben rectified
but the way the lpg was fitted looks naff
relays hanging by their wires, solenoids not fastened correctly

Omega General Help / 2002 mv6 auto lpg faults (mil eliminator)
« on: 26 November 2008, 22:22:33 »
hi  wondered if anyone can help me
have a 2002 mv6 auto
which has an lpg conversion system fitted
the system causes the emission control system on the car to give out the following codes and definitions

P1700      Transmission Indeterminate Failure (Failed to Neutral)
P0430      Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2)
P0420      Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)
P0141      O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

ignore the p1700 this has been rectified with a new gear selector switch
the other 3 are caused by the lpg system
as lpg is less combustive than petrol therefore gives off way less co2 this is causing the system to notice that the emissions are below what they should be

therefore i am looking for a mil(malfunction indicator lamp) eliminator
when a car with fuel injection systems and fuel management systems is fitted with an exhaust system with a de-cat there is a call for such a device which fools the ecu into thinking that the values sent out by the lambda(co2 oxygen sensor) are correct when they are not


if anyone knows of where i can get such a device please mail me
all help would be much appreciated

Omega General Help / Re: Gearbox Switch
« on: 26 November 2008, 22:30:21 »
the switch for selecting gears on all omega boxes is located on the underside on the car on the near side of the gearbox and is a right pain to get to(loads of swearing) small hands is a must

these switches are prone to weather
if its an automatic the part can work out to be very pricey(£400)

you will get a fault code up as P1700 Transmission Indeterminate Failure (Failed to Neutral)

but this should not stop the car from starting unless you have an automatic or you have the clutch pedal undepressed or you have faulty clutch pedal switch

hope this helps

there is only a light for the traction control whichis linked into the abs and CRUISE CONTROL that only indicates a fault but there is however a light that looks like a speedo that indicates when the cruise control is active

vauxhall havent got a clue when it comes to repairing cars
they cant even bake a cake let alone fix cars

cant remember who the vauxhall supplier is but we got one for a about 250 i think genuine gm part
very common for them to fail as they are in the line of the weather(splashed from the road)

are you getting all the lights on your console up? and jittery
also you should be getting on the diagnostic program

P1700      Transmission Indeterminate Failure (Failed to Neutral)
