today , after the morning rush and panic and stress of having two cats brought to the million miles distant veterinary for spaying come back home for a normal day..

I was curious as one friend was having problems with lpg on his 30K miles mondeo.. :-/ and called him ..

said still problem continues.. I said ok I 'm preparing the friends pc lets meet there at 4 pm..I said drive the car on normal fuel to see if it does again.. which it did :-?



anyway, we go there to have the car checked.. (sparks were changed, throttle cleaned) and before I talked to the mechanic friend and he said ignition components or lambda could be problem.. (which I disagree as the car is nearly new)  when we go there we all witnessed the misfires from time to time without any obvious reason.. I said lets try a code reader (EML light on) ..which gave injector #4 voltage problem..  I said thats a cabling/loom problem..(Correct 8-))

but before visiting the lpg shop (as it was in guarantee) we tried new plugs and leads , DIS etc and was the same .. but suddenly we see when we play with the cable the engine becomes normal then worse related with position

off to the LPG installer.. they changed the cables, sockets 3 times but all cables were faulty :-?

nearly 9 pm (we were frozen ) they decided to change the loom completely, cut the faulty sockets  soldered the cables directly and problem solved..

Not good! Poor workmanship though unfortunately... No excuse for it

definitely.. when I see they drill the manifold in situ , minute one goal one!  what you expect from a conversion done in half a day

and besides ,in normal BRC installations there must be 6 step of calibrations which must be carefully done for sensors which they did not and load a ready one.. :-?

that's far too quick

I had a very similar problem with my Stag lpg loom cem, I was literally pulling my hair out for more than 3 weeks trying to solve a misfire on my installation until I discovered the loom wiring to no:1  'piggyback'  injector plug was fitted the wrong way round!!!
Aren't these things supposed to be tested at the point of manufacture? :-/

those sockets unreliable imo.. we end up soldering all connections and get rid of them

honestly in all electrical devices, socket connections are a pita.. within time they are covered with oil and dust and if someone plays with them, hard to find the fault..

and soldering also breaks in time

Hence the reason I state in the guides to thoroughly check to loom before fitting

Yes, they are supposed to be tested but at the end of the day there will always be the odd one which slips through May have been a "Friday Afternoon" Loom
