my 2.2 has recently started to idle very badly when first switching to LPG sometimes the engine manement light comes on this clears after a while.
If I switch back to petrol the engine ticks over fine
I dont notice the problem if the gas switches whilst I am moving and once its been on gas for a while it ticks over fine strnge one this any help out there!!

Hy Įrpi,
I guess in your vaporiser might be some water precipitated by cold-warm alternation. If I were you, I would go to a certified garage with my car , make her vapo cleaning and LPG ECU program refreshing.  ;)

Like everything else, you get what you pay for.  I have had 2 Prinz systems done on 2 omegaS, one did over 200k the other over 300k and all I ever did was replaced normal wear and tear parts!
But that doesn't mean the fitting is up to a high standard ;)

I have, so far, only seen 1 "Professional" conversion (on an Omega) of a standard I would have driven away... The ones I have seen range from just untidy to down right dangerous, via purely wrongly fitted and not working properly ::) ::)

He said the P word, Prinz are probably the best system so tend to be used by the better installers.
Not necessarily - I have seen some dreadful Prinz installs.  Its an excellent system, but again, closed to all but those installers who are in the old boys club UKLPG.

I've not seem Dodge's install, but it clearly works well for him, and I get the impression he has used the same installer multiple times.


Dodge, lets see some pics :y :y

I beg to differ ::) ::) Yes, the Prins kit is good but that doesn't mean it's fitted well. At least 1 of the installations I have helped a member put right (possibly 2, can't remember ::)) was a £2k Prins installation and the Vaporiser coolant feed was taken from the thin Throttle body hose :o :o >:( >:(
Thanks Martin, finally had an acknowledgement that I MIGHT have actually had a half decent installation!  :y
You may well do, and as you have been back to them for more than one you probably do ;)

I never said that there was anything wrong with yours ;) How could I? I've never seen it ;D

Another victim of a certain installer went to a Prinz installer and had a good install, mind you I had to do legal letters and Police visits to deal with the poor one I had on the last car, (ECU in air box, loom next to EGR)

Damn no edit

The legal letters and Police were to do with bullying a few years later not the install itself.
