What would cause a kickdown cable on a 90 Topaz to stop working?

Is it a cable or a rod? Check to see that it did not just come off. It's a rod linkage. The end of the rod that connects to the tansmission won't move. Thus the gas paddle won't go to the floor. You will have to check the adjustment on the linkage. Slack the bolt that holds the rod and see if it moves freely at the transmission up and down. If it does, then its just an adjustment at the throttle. If it does not, then you will have to have the transmission checked at the shop.

What would cause 1990 topaz transmission not to shift from 1st to 2nd and drive until rpms are up to 4000 rpm?
Assuming there isn't transmission damage, you probably have a kickdown cable. It's a cable that gets pulled on when you press the gas. It takes into account how hard your gas pedal is down, and delays shifting the closer you are to WOT. (wide open throttle) Perhaps it is a little too tight. Becareful though - if it's not the problem and you move the kickdown cable, you can damage the tranny if you make it shift too hard. So make sure you scribe a mark or something before you even touch it so you know where it was originally. There will likely be a bracket of sorts that allows minor adjustment.

What can cause vauxhall omega 2.0 16V eco-tec engine constantly blows automatic transmission fuse?
I had the same problem on my 1999 Omega V6. It was looked at by several people and no-one could seem to find the reason for it happening. In the end, I removed the accelerator cable (which includes the kickdown switch for the auto box, located near the bulkhead), and took apart and cleaned the kickdown switch (the small rectangular black box) This solved the problem completely. I would suggest that if cleaning does not work, then the cable (including kickdown switch) be replaced. Hope this helps P.S.
