Rangie 3.5. still won't idle on lpg as I don't seem to have much vacuum at the=20 plenum, but, it seems to drive cleaner and smoother on LPG than petrol.
On petrol arround 30, when warm after a motorway run, it stumbles and=20 hunts when driving, and won't idle on petrol. Can't get it to hold a=20 regular idle speed.
Was idling very rich, but since I sorted the idle mixture to 2.0 CO, it=20 now drives worse than before.
If I can get my hand behind the back of the block, I'm going to change=20 the vac hoses this weekend (and get a vac hose to get a reading). The=20 LPG coolant hoses get in the way of easy access. I have changed the=20 plugs and dizzy cap, was thinking maybe that changing the coil/rotor arm=20 might help, but it drives so smoothly on LPG. When I first got it, I=20 changed the leads, but it wouldn't run at all, so I put the old ones=20 back on and it fired up straight away.
BTW, how do you disconnect the power connector to the idle air bypass.=20 Apart from space being tight, I can't see how to remove the metal spring=20 clip to free the connector.
Is it likley to be fuel pressure (vac hoses to the regulator), or=20 ignition (coil).
I've enjoyed driving it, but I'm beginning to think if I can't it idling=20 cleanly and idling on LPG it is going to have to go.
I'm using about =A340 of petrol (stop start driving about 15 miles a day)= =20 and =A316 of LPG (when on the motorway as long as I don't need to stop or= =20 slow to quickly it is fine) a week. Total about 220-250 a week for about=20 =A356 of fuel. Auto nice, V8 growl nice, wallowy from lifted from suspension actually=20 not that bad. Fuel bill scary, and constanly shifting idle (I always=20 seem to be turning it up) a real pain in the arse.=20
