Hiya - newbie from Aus
10. Nov 2007 at 10:11  
Hey all!
Just a quicky to introduce myself - just bought a 99 Omega estate MV6, new to these cars, although they are really similar to the Holden Commodores we have in Australia!
Im reasonably proficient with cars, in Aus I have a Mitsubishi Magna (3.5l v6 with a ton of modifications) so am pretty used to tinkering with cars - changed the Magna over from an Auto to a manual which was a first that anyone had done (we have a similar forum there - aussiemagna.com) also wired up a Greddy aftermarket computer amongst a whole heap of other stuff..

Anyway, Im living here in London now on a more or less permanent basis, and the Omega is a nice upgrade from Betsy, my 91 escort 4 banger which was driving me nuts!!
I picked up the Omega last night, and have been really happy with it so far, seems like a pretty wicked car, although on the (long) drive home, she started to stall.. (noooooooo!!).
I have a feeling it could have been a dodgy batch of fuel from a nondescript middle of nowhere majorly overpriced rest stop, because it got a bit better when i diluted it down with some other fuel, but it still worries me a bit.

Anyhoo - Hi ! - i guess ill make a post in one of the other sections regarding this problem so I can get her fixed up, but does anyone have an electronic copy of the service manual they can send me?
Cheers,
Ben

Welcome to the forum mate. Engine stalling seems to point towards failing crank sensor, although I'm no expert. Post in the general help section and you will get more help than you can shake a didgeridoo at.  Thumbs Up!
