:welcome2:hi lads and lasses , anyone got a zavoli multipont system fitted after 2006/8 . I need to know if the display unit on dash i.e. the one with the four green lights on and the white button to change from petrol to gas , the question is " does this light up once ignition is on before starting or does it come on once engine is running ?????????

im having a problem with non starting on cranking over then running battery down !!!!!!!!!

Haha! Landon mate! have u got spark? Is the fuel pump working etc. Check the basics mate

ovalandrover · Feb 22, 2014

If its trying to start on LPG then you need to check your spark plug gaps and close them up to about 25 thou as lpg needs a hotter spark not a larger one

And if I did I would probably answer it wrong, thought I would say that before Keith. Too many long lunches at the Chester Grosvenor is my excuse

mozz smith · Feb 22, 2014

easy question tomcat !!!! does the unit light up when ignition is turned on ????????? or does it light up once car has started ??????????? answer = yes / no or don't know !!!!you should have gone to specsavers !!!!!!

gazzab79 · Feb 22, 2014

You will just have to try and trace it. Mine was between vapourisor and battery. Just follow wiring mate

My 2000 model 4.6 has the Zavoli system, it sounds just like yours.

The lights on the dashboard unit do come on when you turn the key.

As you know the car starts on petrol, so only the red light is on at first, indicating that it is running on petrol.

Once the engine warms to the preset water temperature, the system flicks over to LPG, the red light goes out, and the yellow one at the other end comes on.

The green lights will indicate how much LPG there is in the tank, not very accurately, but they do.

Whilst running on LPG, if you press the button, the yellow and green lights will go out and the red will come back on indicating that you are now running on petrol.

Pressing the button again will switch it back to LPG.

If for some reason, the car is trying to start on LPG, it won't be able to, as I understand that the hot water produced by the engine is used to vaporise the Liquid Petroleum Gas.
