My Omega misfires when pulling away, when the engine is warm. I ;Dt clears and drives fine after you get to about 25 to 35 mph. Any ideas please

[MR MISTER]

Get a man to drive it properly and see if that sorts it 


Sorry

The titles not strange misfit.

   way too funny....like ive never heard that one before. I cant seem to find a trustworthy garage who knows how to fix an engine of this size so maybe its not the girls who struggle with this car mmmm     If anyone has any ideas or knows of a good garage in the west midlands that could be of help that would be great. Thanks.

Drop Daz, aka Darth Looknee a PM

He's in Stoke and what he doesn't know about the Omega won't fill the back of a postage stamp

[Kerry]

Some people eh

[Kerry]

Thanks for the help

Yes give Daz a call but I know he's quiet busy, if you want to get your hands dirty, first thing to check is oil or water sitting in the spark plug wells.

Forgot to mention, is the EML on the dash, and also read any stored fault Codes (paper clip test).

my misfire was due to a coil pack cracking into two, ran fine when cold but when hot it was a pain, if no luck with daz im not too far away

plug leads and Coil (DIS) pack. with a few revs theres enough spark to make the thing work, whats you fuel consumption like?

[Kerry]

Fuel consumption is normal, are coil packs expensive and are they hard to fit?

Careful what you're searching for on here. Coil pack is the name generally given to the 1/3/5 or 2/4/6 cylinder banks on a 2.6/3.2 drive by wire car ie those that fit directly to the park plugs. You have a 3.0 so have what is generally know as a DIS pack (Distributor Ign System) but .... there are variations on what can be fitted. It's best to remove what you already have to make sure you get a direct replacement - IIRC the plugs are square-ish or more oval. Fitting them is ..... er ..... challenging!    It lives at the back of the passenger side of the engine and is a PITA the get to.
