Omega General Help / Re: Injector valve voltage Low/High

« on: 12 May 2010, 20:16:09 »

It sounds to me like the LPG system is not loading the petrol injector signals enough when running on LPG - hence the ECU thinks they are open circuit. Too much of a coincidence for all 4 to be complaining otherwise.

I suspect it's probably always been like this. Does it run any better on petrol? Do the codes clear and stay clear if the car is only run on petrol?

My thoughts exactly. I'll try resetting the ECU an just running on petrol. The thing is though, when I rev the engine up to about 4k RPM's It will sometimes give you a lot more power, instantly, like something switches on all of a sudden. Therefore i thought this had something to do with it. It might just be my imagination. i've only driven the car for a couple of days now so i don't really know what's 'normal'.

Omega General Help / Injector valve voltage Low/High

« on: 12 May 2010, 13:34:43 »

Hi!

I had the feeling my engine is not running at full power so I did the paperclip test and got error codes P0201, P0202 ,P0203, P0204 and P1690. I understood that i could ignore the P1690 but I'm a bit worried about the injectors. Note that the engine has been refittet to run on LPG-G3. Should i be worried or can I just ignore them?

Omega General Help / Re: ECC problems

Hmm..  I'll give that a go. It seems someone has been fooling around with the dashboard anyway. Instrumentlighting is not working properly, nor does the the Tachymeter (the one that reads how far you've gone) so the dash needs to come out anyway.

Thanks, I'll let you know what the result is!

Omega General Help / ECC problems

« on: 12 May 2010, 12:48:36 »

Hi,

My ECC unit seems to have a mind of it's own. The weather has been awfull lately so I'm really happy to have a car again (used to go to work (60 miles) on my motorbike) but the heater doesn't work for the driver side. Instead it assumes I'm too hot and puts the Aircon on high power while heating the passengerside. What seems to help is to open up my window so all the cold air gets sucked out and i can enjoy some of the warm sweetness of the passenger side.

I've tried resetting the ECC (holding the Auto and off button for a couple of secconds) but that doesn't seem to make a difference. My outside temp. sensor doesn't work either. It reeds "--.-C".
My local dealer told me this might have something to do with it but just turning my car over to them will cost me an arm and one healthy kidney . So here i am, any help on this?

Newbie Welcome Area / Hi everybody from Holland!

« on: 12 May 2010, 12:30:28 »

Hi everybody!

Just bought a nice 1999 Opel (Vauxhall) Omega B Caravan, diamond edition. Unfortunately the 6 cilinder models were unavailable in my price range so I settled for a X2.0Xev model.
Since the price range is nothing all the way up to pocket money the car does need some repairs.

I've been searching the internet for guides and whatnot to stop me from destroying this nice car and found that the only helpfull community puts the wheel right side and call it a Vauxhall

But hats of to you guys for this amazingly helpfull forum!

Oh, btw, I got the Caravan because me and 3 friends want to do the first leg of our "New Zealand trip by land/sea" by car.

So that's my car and it's purpose, as for me, I'm a 30 year old Software engineer from Holland with a passion for everything technical except software.

I won't bother you with all the bugs here and go right ahaid and post them in the appropriate group.

Cheers,

Erik
