Omega General Help / Re: Cat failing on a 2.2

So these fault codes cannot determine if my main cat is failing, only that there may be something wrong with my pre-cat ?  How difficult are these to replace ?

As earlier mentioned in this thread, where are the sensors on the 2.2 and is 'cat below threshold' code reffering to the main or pre-cats

Is there anyone from the forum near Hull who could help me with the diagnostics / live data etc... Like I say, mot looming quickly so I would have to be 100% before paying out for a new cat.

Emmisions light came on so went to the garage to get the codes read. Cat below threshold was one and the other was something to do with oxygen sensor reading as a result. Anyway my question is - with the car being due for MOT in a fortnight does anyone know how much a second hand Cat will cost me and how much to fit it.

Cheers Welung666, like i said small amount of oil in the large baffled pipe after maf, this is the only one i checked. Which are the breathers, the inlet pipes and outlet pipes ? It's all new to me ! Should they all be bone dry- sorry for being a pain but i thought that paying to have it done would leave the mig running great :-/

Cheers philrich, a proud Englishman. So either of these two sensors can be on their way out and there won't be any codes stored/eml lights? Oh and also my good friend, are the plastic breather tubes after the air filter supposed to be bone dry?

I know what you mean Iain. Sick of everyone staring at it like its a tank when i first start it. So frustrating, thought there would be an obvious fix. Looks like i'm stuck with it though - no money after new Cyl.head, new HG etc... Lets hope someone can help us poor ( non V6 ) owners

Right nice one, so we thinks no probs with our MAF sensors ?  So problem could be gunked-up breathers, anyone know how clean/dry these large bore pipes should be ? Like i say garage cleaned breathers comp. only few weeks back.

When I had the MAF off one of the things I noticed was that there was a small amount of oil in the plastic hose ( the baffled one between MAF and Throttle body ) how clean/dry is this meant to be ? When i had my HG done i asked for the breathers to be cleaned out aswell, new throttle body gasket etc.. this is only a few weeks back.  :-?

OK so there are at least three of us OOFers with this problem then. Any experienced chaps out there had same problem and got it sorted.
  I unplugged the MAF and it seemed alright, tried it with a spare MAF and it seemed slightly worse so i've the original on again, tightened up jubilees on breather hoses etc.... But its still there warmstart, erratic idle, non-responsive throttle , sounds shocking and then after a while it sorts itself out ?  Anyone else think its worse when the car has been sat in the heat ?? :-/

I shall try this in morning as i am currently at work. Will unplugging the MAF cause my eml light to stick on again ? And also if its a faulty Maf should'nt i already have a fault code ? Thanks for the advise

Cheers Tunnie, coolant level is fine had HG done three weeks ago - problem was there before. Friend of mine runs a garage and read the codes for me live data etc... said all is well, then as it had been running for a while it was fine again when i picked it up.
