For anyone who can't recall, some time ago my MV6 was randomly switching back to petrol when driving. The code logged was "injector number 4 error" in the gas ECU.
In an attempt to work out whether it was the injector at fault, or something elsewhere, I swapped the place of injectors 4 and 6 on that bank. (not physically, but I swapped the loom connectors and lpg feed hoses). This means that, if the fault code moved to injector 6 - it would have been the injector at fault, if it remained at 4, it would be a wiring / loom / ECU issue.
Well... after doing this, do you think I could get it to error again?
2000 miles, and it never happened again - so I pretty much forgot all about it.
So. This morning, I was merrily sailing up lane 3 of the M4 towards London, when... instant total loss of power. Ah, crap, LPG light flashing. It had switched back to petrol, and shamefully I did not notice for what was probably miles, (ignoring the petrol gauge, thinking it was on gas) - and subsequently causing my petrol tank to run dry.
Thankfully someone was looking over me - I was able to get over to the hard shoulder safely. So there I am with no petrol, and a hit and miss ECU system! I managed to force start it on gas, and it drove 20 odd miles or so to the next services (in lane 1!), during which time it died again, whilst on gas, once - and I had to do the same.
When I was safely off the motorway I plugged the laptop into the gas ECU. The error was "injector number 4".
SO it's not the injector at fault as originally suspected. All of the wiring seems to be intact, with no breaks or damage. I've followed it back as far as I practicably could at the time. I guess I'll have to buzz it through from the gas ECU pins etc and properly inspect it all well... would you concur that it seems to be a fault with the wiring to the no4 injectors, or maybe in the piggy back for this injector?
I wouldn't think it would be likely to be an ECU fault with the LPG controller?
Shame it wasn't number 6 causing the problem... I'd have just configured it as a 5 cylinder install, and ran the 1 cylinder on petrol, until the weather warms up a bit
