I wouldn't mind contemplating betting a gonad that there is not a setting for motogas  :-/

.. which means that if the open/close times are radically different to the Valtek injectors (which are extremely slow) we might expect to see them tricky to map and running out of resolution at idle. :-/

But they're running on the correct setting... It does include the Valtek but also includes the AC rail we're using ;)

So what you're saying is.. Chris fitted his wrong?  :-X ;D Or it was the bag of gravel I keep hearing about..

I just went and checked, though, as you said that - I only did 7K in the Omega last year (and I hardly drove the MR2).. my mileage has really come down since moving here, to the point where I wonder if it's worth it.

Then again, petrol prices are rather painful!

If your sure your going to keep the car...   then it's worth it! :y

There have been issues with the way I installed it, a kinked pipe in the fuel feed from tank where it runs out of site from through the vent pipe, and a pinched pipe from injectors to nozels to manifold nozzels. I was careful to check too in this instance... Dunno.  :-[

Car had a poor condition coil pac that I had issues with before with water from a loose windscreen seal, this on the same bank as the trapped injector pipe.

Not sure how much effect the slow lambda had, but it was def slow on petrol as well, now sorted.

All this interfered with what would appear to be the most significant issue of injector nozzel size. A case of experimentation until its correct as this is a new kit, effectively, put together by Tilo for us I believe. This is all part of a diy install as far as I'm concerned.

The kit itself is not at fault, clearly. It's been me and the car. Shit happens.  ;D  :y

To ensure that the procedures and techniques are correct I'm willing to loan my V6 to the OOF LPG team for full installation of the approved LPG kit. I will of course assist sod off and drink beer as required.

The big Dilema is 'would I use it more if it was gassed?' I'm not overly fussed about getting the outlay back quickly as the money spent on this vehicle to date probably outweighs the purchase price!

The issue really is having the money to start with when I have plenty of other things to spend it on!
