I get the 0420 and 0430 at least once a week! I just live with turning it off with my code reader but will move the sensors eventually.

You're not alone - Mrs TB gets it when she uses TBE. I never have, she clearly is driving like tunnie.

I thought we moved the sensors on that one?

You tried. You failed

Given you failed, I didn't even try  .  As Gixer says, needs new sensors...  ...but looking at trims, I think it may possibly need new injectors as well.  Needless to say, no issues when I drive it...

Your lpg nozzels are still too big though, aren't they? Or did you sort that out?

Have had a pattern cat fitted to my 2.2 just about 2 weeks ago , havnt had any lights come on yet. But i have had my original cat welded with a new flexi joint for a bakup. The only problem i have the top cat is much biger than the original and there is very little clearance  with the stearing joint not sure if its called the drop link but on a hard right turn they make contact .its was a react cat that i have apart from that im very pleased with it very quite.

Thanks for all the replies just to show my ignorance i didnt even know a V6 had 2 cats lol. I will go speak with the Garage and see if they can move the sensors and see if that helps

They actually have four... and if going to the same garage, I would politely suggest that they do the work for free whilst refunding you the money they would have received when they scrapped your perfectly sound cats

I melted the replacements

But its noticibly grumpy now until warmed, I believe you had this?

...still do to an extent, but it's not engine temp related. Build up of fuel trim at tick over I guess as it does eventually start to hunt after two or three minutes at idle.

The lpg map is a bit vague to map at low rpm, but I minimised mine by lowering the map parameters at tickover rpm levels. I presume its giving too much fuel at tickover, and being trimmed back and the cycle repeats.

My current Hanna injectors have no nozzels and do it all by duration. A bit of a pig to map as they are the complete opposite end if the map scale to the moto gas ones. The lambdas where not switching at all initially as it was way too rich working with the motogas map. But got there In the end.

Currently, there is a hunt that creeps in after 2/3 mins at idle, and it's set to switch back to petrol over 5.5k rpm. I'm sure these things could be tuned out though, if I could be arsed.


Yours however, needs smaller nozzels. No point changing anything until they're sorted, surely?

[TheBoy]

Given the step change, I thought something else was toast, and you had better success with you new injectors, I was thinking not worth the bother, just swap 'em.  But, yeah, too big to idle, immediate hunting at idle.

Though if I scrap the Bullet, I could try the Valteks, they are indestructible

Mine don't bog down at high RPM either, since I rebuilt them... They just hunt at idle instead.

You'll also fit the suspension to the superior Elite as well,presumably?

Probably not

[chrisgixer]

I think you should. Just to rule out any oddities.

She's reasonably happy with it now, and I don't get to drive it much.

That said, that may all change due to the LPG situation around here
