Hey all,
Noticed my Omega has started dropping a cylinder intermittently: sometimes when cold starting and sometimes while stopped at a traffic light. The car shakes like crazy. Restarting the engine a couple times usually fixes it. Usually chucks a P0300 random cylinder misfire code, but it more specifically chucked a code for cylinder 6 the other day.
Spark plugs are new so should be fine. I haven't changed the coils yet, though. Car has done 130k kms.
Decided it might be a dirty throttle body after looking up symptoms online (rough idle, delayed throttle response).
is this a difficult job on this car? im planning to buy a cheapo can of throttle bottle cleaner. Should I try source an extra gasket from online or just reuse the old one?
