update**
guys, i have just been down to car again, and found that one of the pipes from the gas distributer to the engine,was not connected at the engine side- it had come off the rubber hose...
so, i managed to get that connected again, and really thought that would be the problem all along... but nope
anyway... i was doing some cleaning of pipes and around the engine when i noticed a small fuse holder at the rear of the engine(drivers side) and connected to the gas wiring loom... i pulled this apart, and it doesnt have a fuse inside, just 2 metal pins... i have the pictures,but dont know how to put them up :-/
but since i pulled that apart, then put it back together, the car no longer stalls when flicking to gas.. the solenoids click, then the light flashes...
is there anybody on the forums who could help me out, ill pay you

its very, very slight. Don't think any passengers would not notice, as mentioned it almost completely goes within few seconds.
ok,ill check all hoses when the weather sorts itself out...
am i able to take off the vapourisor and clean it out, without any problems?

Quotehi again all
as the rain has stopped, i had some more time to have another look at car...
im thinking, how can i test the stepper motor- to see its working ok?
i have taken the cover off the solenoid,and can see it is working fine, i know gas is getting to the engine, as before it stalls i can smell the fumes....
are both pipes that goto the vaporisor supposed to get hot?
im still trying to sort this myself as i cant afford a gas tech
**just read up about a solenoid VALVE? where is this located
and is it ok to disconnect it and clean it?
thanks again
You didn't say that before... There's your answer. There's a leak
only just noticed it.. so i shouldnt be able to smell gas at all whithin the engine bay?

Oh... And the guy "in the know" at your local garage obviously hasn't the faintest idea!
Could well be the solenoid as per the above link
Or the LPG distributor may be gummed up
hi,thanks for your help, yes i have visited the lpg forum..
as for solenoid clicking, i can definately hear to one under the bonnet and one from the boot..
as for distribter,its been disconnected and cleaned using carb cleaner, it wasnt blocked either.

Two points come to mind.
1. Injector cleaner poured into the petrol tank isn't going to flow through the gas injectors so why bother :-/
2. The lack of any flashes from the gas system (and the fact it isn't working) would lead me to have another look at the fuses. It sounds to me as though there is no power to the gas system.
the guy at the garage told me to put this into fuel tank- shows he knows next to f**k all...and i did actually querie this, saying to him " if the car can run on lpg,then it will have seperate injectors ?" to which he said they are shard between petrol/lpg
as for power to gas system- all fuses were checked yesterday- under steering wheel and next to battery, normal fuses and the fat fuses 8-)

It's a problem with the gas not the existing car. Mine had the same thing last week and it turned out to be a knackered temp sensor inside the gas regulator. As it couldn't detect the water temp it couldn't switch to gas do as a safetyeasure flicks back to petrol.
My installer charged £40 fitted for a new regulator and all is well
**another update**
Went down to Vauxhall to order the part mentioned above- £31 incl VAT.. so i have ordered one,just incase...
on my way home i popped into my local garage to see if they have any lpg knowledge, after a discussion with one of the mechanics in the know...
he said to me, it is probably the injectors,which will cost you up to £600, so therefor we wont book it in for work,as its not cost effective ... he also said to use a bottle on Winns injector cleaner and see if that clears the injectors...
im so lost now, i dont know where to start... but what id like to know is where does this temp sensor fit in regards to the vaporisor?? also, where abouts does the gas filter go?? does anybody have a diagram or picture maybe?
thankyou again for your help, i really dont know what to do anymore :-/

hi all, just an update for you ...
on friday, i bought some carb cleaner and as it was raining- i never really had time to do much, so i disconnected 2 hoses from the distributer and blew some carb cleaner inside it, and cleaned out the 2 pipes i disconnected...
turned car over, no problems.. flicked to gas... and hey presto!!! i managed to drives around 1 mile to the petrol station and fill up the gas, i left the petrol station and drove about another mile... before it kicked back onto petrol and was now back to normal... gas fault...
So, today, i took out the distributer and cleaned as much as i could, i took the top off and blew carb cleaner down the inside, then put it back together...i took off the four hoses and cleaned them out- the liquid that came out was a little brown, but nothing to bad...
started car up.... flicked to gas, it cuts out after the 3 clicks... so i tried it a few times- nothing...
so, i took the top off the distributer, and noticed the plunger type screw was loose,and had a fair bit of play in each side... so i tightened it up and put it back together...
still nothin.... do you think my distributer has had it??
