Omega General Help / Help!! Irratic idling still - near Dewsbury

« on: 25 June 2010, 20:48:14 »

Thanks for looking and all the great info and help on here!!!

Have a 2.0 99' which suffers from irratic idling and stalling problems - so checked on here and removed/cleaned ICV and throttle as well as check pipes. Also also checked HT leads at spark plugs and full of oil and so guess needs new cam cover gasket.

Also did paperclip test and came up with codes 0100 and 0130 - MAF has been changed for 2nd hand one off ebay - if disconnected engine still runs and idling doesn't change with old or newer MAF - unless its duff!

I'm no mechanic and with times being hard can't afford a trip to the garage.

Is there anything else I have missed? Is there anyone local who could help for a few beers

Having idling problems so have cleaned breathers and changed ICT.
Still suffer from irratic idling as low as 700 to as high as 2200. Sounds like exhaust blowing from front - manifold? Could this be causing idling problems - not done paperclip test as yet.
Cheers

Omega General Help / 1999 2.0 irratic idling - obvious things checked?

« on: 03 June 2009, 22:25:40 »

Hello Eveyone,
I am new to omega's so please forgive the ignorance.
I recently bought a 1999 2.0 petrol which has an irratic idling problem.
I changed the ICV for a new one and cleaned out the breather pipes as per instructions on other listings but I am still having problems.
This usually occurs after around 10 - 15 minutes of normal driving - the car then wants to idle at 2000 - 2300 revs so I have to turn the ignition off when sat still.
The only other thing is that the exhaust is starting to blow from I think a front section as the middle and end sections look fairly new.
While I am here the glove box lid lock has broken and come away from the housing - are these easy to replace?
Many thanks in advance.
Jonathan
