Omega General Help / Re: omega 2.2 cam sensor help

Thanks for that Andy, I did wonder about the replies I was getting lol! I read the codes myself with an OBD blue tooth reader connected to torque on my phone. Did another scan and it's showing a miss fire on one of the cylinders as well.

It's fuel injected, air leak to check for was said to be in the intake system - vacuum pipes, airbox pipes etc.

Sounds and feels like a mis-fire but could be wrong. Car starts but stutters on tickover and when driving, hard pulling off from junctions! Three garages say three different things - plugs (changed them, no difference), air leak in vacuum system of carb - no leaks found, coil pack - tested and has consistant resistance across all four.
Code reading gives p1781 and p1700 - both seem to be transmission related but forum threads say broken cam sensor can throw these up.
I disconnected the cam sensor and the engine ran exactlythe same, if the cam sensor wasn't at fault I would have thought the engine wouldn't have run?
Had this problem for ages, even checked the inlet manifold gasket that supposedly was known for having a split and letting air in. Very frustrating, lots of different views o the forums as to whatit could be!

Omega General Help / omega 2.2 cam sensor help
« on: 01 November 2013, 15:43:30 »
My 2.2 estate has been mis-firing and gradually getting worse. I've eliminated most things, and am now looking at changing the cam sensor. Trouble is that it costs £77 from autovax and I don't want to spend that much and find out thats not the problem!
Is there anyone near the cardiff or bridgend area that has a spare one they are willing to let me try? I'm happy to then buy a new one if it turns out my one is faulty.
Cheers,
Steve

Omega General Help / Omega 2.2 ABS warning light.
« on: 14 May 2013, 00:02:23 »
The ABS light on my Omega is coming on intermittently. I have an MOT in the next week and want to get it sorted beforehand. Reading the forums here the ECU seams to be a common fault, but I don't have any of the issues of loosing speedo or cruise control which seem to accompany this.
The car can be parked on the drive without moving, and the fault light is even intermittent then - which makes me think its not a sensor problem as the parts haven't moved to give a reading to the sensor. Whilst I think about it, I did start the engine, don't know if that might help pinpoint which part of the ABS system is 'faulty'.
Any help gratefully received!

The niggles... Well, it wouldn't be an Omega without some of them
Very true, they already feel like part of the character!!
Cheers for the advice on the water pump and the manual, and i'll update my profile too.
many thanks for your time and help

thanks for that lazy docker. yeah i tend to agree, any new vehicle should be given a cambelt change if there's no prof available of the last replacement.
i got the car as a workhorse for lugging band gear in, a drum kit and my bass gear. we got three people in the car last week and al the kit, well impresed!
i owned a jap car before this and have to admit the vauxhall has quite a few little niggles - mainly minorish electrical faults. overal i'm really pleased with it tho, and hopefully with the aid of the forums here should be able to sort it so its all running tidy again.
i downloaded a pdf haynes of the omega prior to this with the 2 litre in it and the pics look like the same. i'm guessing most of the dismantling will be the similiar, but do you know if the final adjustments, ie timing marks etc are the same?
