Omega General Help / Crank sensor

« on: 12 August 2007, 00:10:00 »

I had a problem in starting and firing up the engine when the car is left not running after more than 4-6 hours. Full description in this thread:
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1184513058


I asked about the crank sensor and parts shops told me that this sensor differs according to engine size. So, a crank sensor for a 3.2 V6 is different than a 2.2 engine. Is this true?

Can anyone tell me what is the paperclip test?

What is the oxygene sensor for?

Thanks to all

I still didn't fix the problem and it's persisting.

I put the car on the computer check in more than one workshop. All of them told me that there is no trouble code appearing on the tests but on of them found fault number P1219 with no description so he explained that only the dealer can know what the problem is.

2 weeks ago, I was travelling for 6 days. So, I left the car not working and when I came back I found out that the battery is out of order when I charged it the car started from the first time while it's connected with charging cables from the other car.

Does this give a new indication?

Thanks Mr. TheBoy for your helpful replies.

Yes, we have a sunny and very hot weather but anyway its better than floods  

My mechanic checked the car with code reader and he didn't receive any fault message.

So, does crank sensor or fuel pumps problems appear on code readers? And where is the crank sensor exactly located?

Thanks a lot man but my location is too far from you are. I am in Riyadh - Saudi Arabia (Middle East).

Regarding my probolem. Yesterday, I changed the spark plugs and the fuel filter but today morning same thing is happening. My car didn't start from first try.  

I may try to change the crank sensor this week.

Again thanks all for your helpful replies and any new suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks alot for your reply.

I tried to wait for 20s then I started the car but it didn't work and same thing is hapening. But, after that the car started without doing anything (without cranking with throttle).

I went after that to ACDelco Workshop and they told me that this may probably be cause by spraks plugs. They reommended to change the spark plugs and the fuel filter.

Another important thing, when I bought my car 4 months ago, the engine computer test gave an ignition problem and at that time they told me that you have to change your car spark plugs.

Does this give a clue?

Thanks again

Hi All,

Something new is happening with me regarding the Starting problem. The problem still occurs after leaving the car (not working) for 7-8 hours. Now, when I start it after the 8 hours, it wouldn't start from first try unless I hit the accelerator twice before turning on the car.

Does this give any indication? Because some friends told me that in this case it would be the fuel pump?

Cheers,
Moya

Thanks all for your replies.

Yes, exactlly. The car start over but it doesn't fire.

Btw, what is the crank sensor? and how much does the fuel pump cost and what is price of crank sensor? Is the starting problem known about Omega?

Hi folks,

I have Opel Omega 3.2 2002. One month ago, I my car started to suffer a starting problem. When I turn on the switch trying to start the engine, nothing happens (no sound at all) and the car don't start. I changed the battery with a new one (ACDelco) but the same problem is happening. Then, last week I changed the starter itself and the problem is solved partially.

So, now when I try to start the engine, the car starts from the first time except when I leave it for long time (7 hours). If I leave the car or if the car is not started in 7 hours and more and I try to start it, there is sound from the starter but the engine doesn't fire. The car starts after 2-5 tries.

Suggestions please. Somebody told me that this problem is may be cause by the Fuel Pump others told me that it may be caused by sparks.

Thanks

Thanx alot Eyad. [ch1603][ch1601][ch1610][ch1578] [ch1608][ch1608][ch1601][ch1610][ch1578]

I'm Jordanian but I live in Saudi Arabia. I would like also to share my omega experience with you cause the dealer here is fooling around too.

I'm suffering from TC (Traction Control) problem. The TC starts to work and disconnects the accelarator while the car is stopped and the gear is on Parking.

I asked more than one mechanic here and all of them said that your cars needs a new ECU or PCM (or the thing that is placed behind the battery)

Did you hear about this problem before? My car is 2002 with a 3.2 engine.

I'm trying to get a used ECU from here but I can't find one. So, I am thinking to bring it from Jordan.

Thanks in advance,
Moya

Thanks Marks but I am not able to mesure the voltage.

Is ECU the part placed just behind the battery at the left side of the engine? If not, what is the name of that part?
