You may remember my 2.2 Omega had a problem yesterday, starts fine, idle too high at 1,300 RPM, spanner light was on, pressed the gas pedal nothing happened .

Got the codes (thanks to Jaime for reading them even when he had family around  )

P1550 - Electronic Throttle Control Motor

P1500 - Electronic Throttle Control Motor Failure

P1525 - Limp Home Position Error

Once warm, the enging was fine. Problem has not come back, even after another cold start.

Throttle body and breathers cleaned last summer....

I hope it was just a clitch on your throttle body tunnie as they cost a fortune the DBW ones i have seen them on ebay for about 230 quid but i did see one once for 20 quid.

Fingers crossed for you tunnie it will befine from now on

Before you jump to too many conclusions, I would clean up the electrical contacts to the throttle control motor, with a good contact cleaner.

I seem to remember MarksDTM saying he's never know one to fail yet, of course there could always be a first time, but fingers crossed.

It won't do any harm to clean up the throttle body and breathers again, it's not a difficult job.

Mark also suggests cleaning the MAF contacts with computer foam clean :-?

Mine ran excessive rpm last year Tunnie after I'd cleaned the breathers, turned out to be nothing more sinister than a sticking butterfly.

Got sneaky feeling thats that might be it...

First job when i get back after the trip this weekend is to give the Omega some love and attention

Not Adviseable to to clean with Computer foam clean as this is Water based ! Far better to use Electrical Contact cleaner.

IIRC tunnie, have you cleaned out that back breather pipe at the back of the camcover, the one you couldn't get off?

As I originaly said....sticking throttle.....its been sat dry for a few weeks, stuck shut and the ECU stuck it in de-stick (max thrutch to the actuating motor) and then limp mode....
