Looking at this on ebay for the stag do john o'groats run;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1999-VAUXHALL-OMEGA-ELITE-V6-AUTO-SILVER_W0QQitemZ290420095692QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item439e62facc

He's quoted its the cam sensor??? Do you think this is causing the rough running?

Thanks in advance......

According to advert he got code 19 which is crank sensor not cam sensor.

[Jimbob]

no....and yes....


the code 19 is crank sensor, which causes bad running to breakdowns.

cam sensors normally reliable on the v6's

so he has 1 code....but lists a different fault....going by the code, £50 odd quid fix 

[Dazzyjeff]

Yeah i checked the code out to be a crank sensor too but i was just guessing that he got the two mixed up.

Im going to have a look at the car anyway, but wondered if there was a way to check the sensor or just change it in someones drive.

So... Recon i can change it easily? I dont know where it is as ive never worked on a 2.5.

What do we think to the car other than that?

Cheers

Ive just read through Vmax old posts and it seems that this stalling problem is a bit of an issue. He seems to have tried numerous things to fix it and not suceeded so im a bit worried about buying it.

Anyone else have any ideas as to what it may be?

Clean ICV and fit new MAF sensor 

Wipe code 19 and see if it reappears.
