the car is a 1994 omega saloon 2.5 v6
the problem is it stalls on take off and when im stood in park it does it some times
when i go to take off and i put my foot down it kind of stalls as if its only running on a few cylinders and then if i take my foot off fast it will pick up again it doesnt always do this and i can hold it in this stall state for how ever long i want with out any error codes being logged i hope you will be able to help me now if you need any more info on this to help me please let me know thank you in advance

[spookyman60]

also im not afraid to rip it apart and take pictures it will be in bits tomorow if i could get this problem solved id keep the car and not get break it for parts and go to the dark side and join beemer

I would start with basics first if you havent already done so....air filter/plugs. could be dis pack breaking down or leads....when was the fuel filter last changed?

[TheBoy]

air leak?

[spookyman60]

tbh i cant ever remember changeing the fuel filter so i will start with plugs, leads and fuel filter its just strange how it does it some times and not others

[spookyman60]

ive also checked for airleaks and replaced alll sealing o rings and gaskets on the plenum and still no changed

would a video help show how its acting?

[spookyman60]

i think i have managed to find the right video the rest are on photo bucket but this one shows it and how it acts

[spookyman60]

just noticed something about the video its not registering any revs at all so il check the cs as well while its in bits

I thought it had cut out at that point - couldn't really hear from the budgie that is trying to get out of your glove box    

[TheBoy]

That cut looks clean. Can you do paperclip test?

[spookyman60]

yes and i got lamba sensor bank 2 also it didnt cut out at all its still running i didnt restart the car once if u listen to it

[TheBoy]

Right, did the revs drop, or was that the instrument that went below 500?  Did the car rev itself, or was that you?

[spookyman60]

if in gear it will stall no problem on junctions or moveing it around a car park i was reving it as it only happens when im accelarting some times it will do it some times it wont it also sounds as if its fireing on 3 now i think i have narrowed it down to what bank as the inlet ports on bank 2 (passenger side) are black as ace of spades and the ones on bank 1 drivers side are silver also i checked the resistance of the dis pack secondary and primary and i found it to be ok to my spec sheet also bank 2 is the bank with the lamba sensor error im really stuck and i really love the car and it drives nice please help me
also it didnt stall in the video at all u can hear the engine in the background it didnt stall but the rev counter wasnt recording any revs now ive had the crankshaft replaced by a garage and thats next port of call then the cam sensor on the left bank if there is one

[TheBoy]

If you are getting lamda codes for that bank, and that bank seems to be rich, then I would be checking the lamda and its wiring.

[spookyman60]

yeah but its been there since about a year and not had this b4 at all i guess the problem has got worse
