Omega General Help / Re: EML light on

« on: 10 January 2010, 09:23:04 »

Hi,  This issue sound just like the one i have.  The red spanner light resets itself.  The orange light can come on for many reasons.  I have had Vauxhall and an independent specialist look into it.  All vauxhall want to do is change parts at a huge cost.  Campco in Warrington gave me a reason for the light coming on but each time its a different code.  I have now bought an OBD 2 reader from ebay (less thatn £30) so that i can see the error codes that come up for my self.  I reset the light yeserday, P0220 error that is throttle position sensor.  I will see what happens

Hi,  OK its me again,  I have established that the code P0220 01/01 code brought the light on.  That seems to the the Throttle Position Sensor.  I might see if the same happens again.  I reset the errors and the light has gone off.  No m,ention of CAT codes. 

What does anyone think?  any ideas?

Cheers Paul

Omega General Help / EML Light on 2.2 Auto

« on: 02 January 2010, 16:14:51 »

 Hi Everyone,

I have a problem with my 2000 2.2 auto Omega. The engine management light has come on a few times and then gone out.  I had Vauxhall  take a look at it, they said that it needed a new ECU and Lamber sensors but would not guarantee the work.  They reset the light and it stayed off for a month or so. 

Abut a month ago I had Camco in Warrington look at it as the throttle also did not respond on occasions’.  They cleaned the throttle housing and analysed the ECU.  They say that the Cat is at fault, it has had a new one fitted not GM and so they say the ECU does not like the readings.  Again the light has stayed off for a while within 500 miles it has come back. 

I have also noticed that the MPG has dropped from 25 to 21 around town, the auto box does not always change when it should (when cold) revs go high.  This comment I have noticed on other.

There is no misfiring, I have just purchased an OBD2 Reader, and read with interest Kevin Woods writings on Fuel Trim Malfunctions.  Any one got any ideas of how to fix this and reduce the risk of spending £1000’s ? 

Thanks Paul
