Omega General Help / 2.2 estate fitted with lpg - P0170 problem code - Fuel Trim

« on: 20 May 2012, 22:59:30 »

Hi all, hope you can help.

I have a 2002 2.2 auto estate cdx fitted with a Zavoli lpg kit. Have P0170 code keep coming up. I have read all relevent threads relating to this tricky code and will describe the fault.

I can clear the code and during approx 60 miles the spanner light illuminates twice and then the MIL light stays illuminated perminently. Spanner light appears and goes off mainly on low revs (below 3k rpm) or tick over.

Car has been in and out of LPG fitters 4 times and have come to the conclusion it is lazy Lamba sensor on the exhaust.

This probelm only occurs on LPG, normal running on petrol is fine. LPG fitters confirm lpg system set up correctly too.

Car starts fine on the button each time with no repetative cranking required. No other codes are stored in ECU memory. Car has had new coil pack, breathers and inlet throttle body cleaned and pipes checked for air leaks. New exhaust in last 12 months inc cat (non Genuine) and decent spark plugs fitted. New cam sensor (Genuine VX) and checked LPG ECU set to correct lamda voltage of 5 volts.

Each time car goes in to the garage i am getting charged ££££ (still need to put food on the table for kiddies too) and before i spend anymore money i wish to get peoples opinions.

After the LPG guys diagnose and reading threads the culprit is norrowed down to I think lazy Lamda or possible MAF. Is there anyway to make sure?

Cheers Sam
