Hi, welcome to the forum.
If the EML is on there is a fault. You need to identify the fault & fix it.  Wink

Have a look here ..... http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1189022687
and go from there.  Thumbs Up!

Given the codes and the symptoms, cam sensor needs replacing. Geuine GM one needed. If you're near me, pop it over and I will show you.

I suspect it *may* need crank sensor at some point, but lets do one thing at a time Thumbs Up!
