I would like some help please,my omega has been so faithfull to me until yesterday,she turns over but wont start.
The battery is strong and ignition turns over very well but will not fire up.Any help please?

Have you done a paperclip test for fault codes?

Wouldnt be suprised to see a 19 - crank sensor, in which case replace that and all will be well.

[Elite Pete]

Do the paperclip test and post up the results

[wakedude]

ok,i will try that thanks.I will let you know the outcome.

[Elite Pete]

As Jimbob says, you will more than likely get 19 which is the crank sensor

[wakedude]

ok,done paperclip test and only getting a 31??

[Jimbob]

31 Just means engine not running, I take it it wasnt running?

[wakedude]

no wasnt running,but have tried and still no joy!!

[feeutfo]

probably is crank sensor anyway. Has it done this before? Within the last week or 2? Or just out of the blue. If this is the first instance you may find it will start when you go back to it...

On the other hand is its just happened out of the blue and refuses to start for a sustained period, i mite suspect something else.
Fuel issues maybe?

[wakedude]

i fear the worst,i suspect fuel pump.
over the last couple of months,whilst driving longish distance,a couple of occasions has happened where a momentary lack of power,like fuel blockage then back to normal,only a split second occurence but enough to set alarm bells ringing.Also a couple of times whilst idling at junction/in traffic,engine has stopped but fired up straight away.

I doubt its fuel pump ....particularly at idle as there is bugger all fuel need.

I suspect crank sensor as it can cause such symptoms and when totaly goosed raises a 31!

[Lazydocker]

I'd opt for the crank sensor too! Mine gave the symptoms you describe occasionally but I got it changed before it went totally kaput

[wakedude]

thanks guys,im trying to source a new sensor,got one from EU,£35ish +vat,just need to get there to get it,bout 8 miles from me.Doh!

[Jimbob]

this is one occasion where genuine really is best, been no end of trouble with after market crank sensors..

[Lazydocker]

I agree... I couldn't get a genuine one where I was at the time so fitted a Bosch one... Should be the same as they're the OE manufacturers but still getting a code 19 come up!
