i think hes been driving down the road and reached out to admire his magic tree when in a split second a caravan caught his eye in a lay by,what a lovely example of a mobile home he thought and then as he looked back to the road OH MY GOD what road hes on the grass banking heading for a hedge(crash)straight through the hedge and down the field spinning out of control towards a tree CRASH the branches have gone through the radiator...smashed the covers and wrapped all around the pulleys forceing the cambelt off which has flown through the air and landed in a river.damn hes thinking how am i gonna get home now without ringing tunnie to pull me out and tow me home and then(what if)yes what if i use the branches wrapped round my pulleys as a cambelt it could just work,10 mins later and some chewing gum and brum brum the bullet fires into life..woohoo as he wheel spins up the field and just manages to get back on the road behind the lovely caravan he was not long before admireing.

moral of the story is you can laugh at his air fresheners but he really does like his MAGIC TREES 8-)

Well, it doesn't run properly on LPG any more, and I don't understand why.  Seems happy enough on petrol though, not that its moved...

Only LPG bits I've touched are removed the injectors whilst taking plenum and inlet manifold out.  Put it back as I found it, running small tubes the same way it was.  I did initially forget to plug in 3 injectors, but didn't start car at this point, as LPG ECU bleeped due to this.

Not put lappy on it yet, come in for some food, as I forgot to eat today  :-[

So what's it doing? Lumpy, switching back, stalling, what? Why take the inlet out?

I'll ignore any cold symptoms, as that probably still needs tweaking. When hot, it idles well on petrol, switch to LPG, and within about 10s it starts to hunt (so badly, occasionally it temporarily drops back to petrol).

Hold it at 1500 rpm on the throttle, switch to gas, and immediately you can feel what seems like a misfire.

So, are you 100% sure you've got everything connected up correctly as it was fine. I think the slight hunt is going to be near on impossible to cure, although at some point I'd love to experiment with the nozzle sizes/pressure to see if we can improve that :-/

Check the pipes are connected correctly again and that you haven't crossed them over by accident.

Of course, it could just be that it needs re-calibrating again as it was done with the poorly plugs/coil packs :-/

Now the bloody water pump has at last arrived, I've gotta pop the plenum off again to fit the cambelt...  ...or shoudl I wait until its due (need to check when, but its this year)...
