Omega Electrical and Audio Help / power steering fuse
« on: 06 September 2010, 09:40:50 »
Errr I seem to be blowing my powers teering fuse a lot, ok it seems as if this fuse has a lot to deal with in the first place but I didn't think that adding a CB to the fag lighter was going to cause too many problems?

Of the 3 plugs my limited DIY skills allow me to get to, none seem to have any ingress of oil, on the lead or plugs, I can only assume we are back to coil pack, lead or plug failure.......which as I had them ALL replaced just over a year ago....I'm not impressed at!

Ah, over fueling. Either unburnt fuel due to misfire, or faulty injector delivering too much fuel.
do paperclip test
And then probably
Check plug wells for oil
did paperclip test.....12 12 12 then a 9?
33 exhaust voltage?
31 no rpm cos the engine wasn't running.
the plug that I took off does have a little oil in it, not much though, depends on ones definition of not much lol

Was just trundling home last night, when my 1999 2.5 V6 auto/petrol began to lose power, pulled over and got out, the heat and the stink from under the car was REALLY BAD, and the engine was running really lumpy, definately not running on all cylinders, NO WARNING lights came up on the dash....any ideas? If the cats are blocked do I need the metal ones £108+vat or the ceramic type £47+vat?

you used to be able to buy Opel in the UK, as a kid I lived in Oldham and the local garage was a GM/Opel dealer, we bought an Opel Kaddett? Bronze with vinyl seats, I remember my mum being burnt by the upholstery one hot summer lol.
Oh and they had a white Opel Manta outside......mmmmmmm

Why does my 1999 2.5 V6 cdx feel like a 70s Cadillac to drive.........just had the front shocks done, all was great for 10 days then all the wallowing about started again! had the wheel alignment done at the same time as the shocks and now it pulls to the left?
I would love to take my car to ONE place, let them loose on it, pay them a fair price and have my Omega purring along....any recommendations? I am in Basingstoke.
