Daily driver running prob's

[ednovasr2]

:mad: Hi peeps wondering if anyone might of come across this prob before??:

Right here goes my Omega 2.5 V6 (99-V-reg) is running V-bad.

Many weeks ago 30 miles after filling up the car with fuel from Tesco it started to run V-bad, cutting out when slowing up to roundabouts (lots in MK) and reving llumpy over 3.5K. Real strong smell of sulfur (egg smell) too.

It's been with a garage for the last two weeks and they are stumpped :-( :tard:

When you first start the car everything is fine even when driving nice and slow, but once the car's temp gage get's to half way it cuts out, doesn't want to rev over 3.5k & cuts out stalling when slow to idel.

Replaced fuel filter and seem to be not better at all, there is no lights on the dash and nothing on the ECU fault codes appearing. Head gasket seems fine (mayonise build up anywhere etc...), but rocker cover gasket leaking fair bit of oil and has been for about a year now.


CAT prob's (x2 of them) ?
Worn oil pump, when warm no presure?
Spark plugs foooked?

anyone with any simlar prob's on any other cars or simlar please get in touch

Cheers peeps :thumb:

CTS sensor. Remove & buff it back to shiny. Or get your cash out & buy a new one (few quid)

Try that. Eggy smell is usually cat converter....

Could be funked Lambda like all the duff petrol ruined those months back. Though I'd expect that would throw up an ECU code.

coil pack + leads probably one of the most common things on those engines.
