Actually, you've got me wondering now. It would need an awful lot of splicing to be able to use all the engine sensors and I haven't noticed anything like that. Hmm. I may have misunderstood what he said about it. It was running like a dog on petrol though and the replacement MAF certainly fixed that. It misfired like buggery on lpg - I just assumed it was all related, but thinking about it, that may have just been that the lpg injector blocks were shot.

Anyway, ignore me - I'm just confusing the issue!

Mine's a ovlm (i think) sequential multipoint jobbie.

ok we will.

these are one of the first things you should have changed when you got the vehicle,you should always give a new car a service as you never know when it was last done.know matter what the previous owner has told you.
