Ok... picked up my omega today... driving along... car cuts out... engine management light has come on... goes to start it again it struggles to start but gets there in the end... light is still on at this point... so i think ok il keep driving... drives sweet as a nut... get home... turn her off and leave her for a hour or so.... go back out to her and the process starts again... at first no light... 5 miles down the road .... stalls .... light is back on... drives sweet as a nut!!

this is a auto omega 2.0 1999

anyone else had this problem?

Hi there, I think your first port of call should be to read the codes. There is a help guide to do this and you only need a paperclip:) this will give you a start point.

Paperclip?

started by counting

First Time

10 flash's ** Break **
4 Flash's ** Break **
5 Flashs ** Break **

Second Time

10 Flash's ** Break **
3 Flash's ** Break **
5 Flash's ** Break **

have i got to add them up? to get a round number or are they all different faults?

[omega2012]

thats normal for a late 2.0 with engine off:

P0335       Incorrect RPM Signal

[omega2012]

so doesnt explain why the car stalls after 5mins use... should i try it with engine on?

[fiend61]

p0335  incorrect rpm signal

usually crank sensor 

[omega2012]

crank shaft sensor was changed in sep 2010 ... how long should they last?

Thats usually on V6, its crank. But thought with 4 potters it was normal to have that with engine off

Was it genuine?
