Hi
Can anyone help...when my car has heated up and she has switched over to lpg, if i slow down for a junction or roundabout then stop the cars revs drop right off then stalls?? she does not do this when running on petrol. I have changed both lamdba sensors anyhow but still keeps dropping off when slowing right down nearing a stop.

the more i read these (numerous) posts about LPG the more I am inclined to think its more trouble than it is worth.

I do believe its a simple thing to rectify, just thinking if i will be able to do the adjustment myself. She runs sweet on lpg even the other partner has had his converted and he dosnt look back. Cheers

Lpg systems need servicing - very few are,and usually go off lean.They have filters which will block and the vaporisers gunge up with heavy ends and the diaphrams go soggy.
Plus most systems are not set up correctly from when they are fitted,cos the price is hammered to the ground leaving little or no time for tuning.

cant argue with what equates to 36mpg for a v8 on lpg though. Plus diesel is literally through the roof. some places here in cornwall its £1.09!!!
