Well if you read my post about my P38 i got £500 off because the cruise and LPG didn't work.
I fixed the CC with the advice from people on here and then started on the LPG.
I got a quote from my local LPG fitter to sort and he said it would be £250 for a proper investigation.I managed to trace the guy who installed it (Knights of Aberdeen) Its a tartarini multipoint system. He even remembered the car! I told him what was happening and he said he was adament it was to do with the vapourisor. Its a 140 mile trip to his workshop and running on only petrol i thought i'd take it on myself as i like to think i'm quite a competent mechanic (i've rebuilt enough engines in my time lol)
I stripped the vapourisor cleaned it and put back together but still no joy. Then i used the workshops at work to delve a little deeper and finally finished at 4 am this morning.....it still didn't work.
I was moping round like a bear with a sore head so the wife gave me the nod and said just go out and sort it lol.
Well i started at 11am and i've just finished. I basically removed every part of the system and stripped them back to individual components. Hey presto there was a bent pin right in the bowels of the vapourisor. Using a tiny hamer i got it as straight as i could and set about rebuilding the whole system with everything cleaned up looking new.
Took the RR out and with much anticipation pressed the LPG button expecting it to cut out and hey presto it clicked over nicely.
Its not running 100%, idle is slightly lumpy, performance is about half of petrol and its relatively lumpy through the rev range but it cruises nicely at 60mph on gas. I reckon its got to be plugs????
Hopefully someone will second my theory its the plugs.
Anyway as a celebreation i thought i'd take the opertunity to post some pics after i cleaned it this morning.
Comments welcome......
