Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: cam or crank sensor

« on: 25 March 2009, 14:23:39 »

I did change the cam covers and have checked for trapped and damaged wires.
the breathers were cleaned recently.
Can thet affect it.
Went to the scrappies as the had a 2.6 v6 in a old one and pulled of the sensor. which is different it never had a lead coming off and a different plug. wish i haddn't tho because i then got myself a new one which had a differnt connector to mine but the same as the srcappie plug.
so i chopped of the plug on the loom and fitted the scrappie plug so i could fit the new sensor.( read a bit on the forum about peaple having to mess around with plug so thought it was the thing to do.)
Any way the traction control light came on when i tried that and that and that is what happens when there is no sensor fitted.

so i swapped the outside 2 wires the traction light went off but the big orange stayed on and it was still lumpy

so i anm now waiting for the right part to turn up and have some soldering to do so it will fit.

i called the aa out and the nice man is 95 % sure its the sensor.

we will see there could well be a cry for help again tommorrow if all fails.
 I take it there are a range of sensors to suit the different brains??
any more things you can think off i should check?

Omega General Help / Have i killed HER!!!

« on: 23 March 2009, 21:10:50 »

i think i have nearly killed my car bless her.

the story is something like this.

once upon a time i had the mother of all rocker cover gasketts leaks both side white smoke from exhausts. the chap i bought it off must have put some cheap and nasty rubber on.

Anyway back to the story.
I successfully took it to bits. managed to get most of the oil out of the plug recesses(all 6) before taking them out and cleaning and putting back.
put everything else back together and bless her she started first time tonnes of white smoke form the excess oil.

then hey presto the engine light magically appears and as the car got warmer the lumpier the engine got till it sputter to a halt.
then it would not go above 2000 revs.

i have paper clipped it and have code 94.
which according to this site is the crank sensor.
The auto DataDisk i have suggests it could be the crank, cam, knock or water sensor.
is there a easy way to check.
have i done major damage compressing oil.
if the general= consensus it is the crank sender where is the best place to get one and how much should i expect to pay.

please help caravaning session starts soon
