Hmm. Ignitor circuit? Does that mean the feed to the coil pack primaries perhaps?  :-/

Do you pick up the RPM signal for the LPG system from a coil pack feed or from the RPM output onthe petrol ECU?

ECU as per MDTM, the green wire on the lower of the ECU plugs, pin 52 from memory.

Ahh, OK. Was thinking it was detecting a fault in a circuit, as the description suggests, but if it's only reporting a misfire I guess that's nothing to worry about.

I have just thought of a cunning plan for this little problem.  My old LPG installation switched to LPG at 1700rpm while decelerating; whereas my V6 is 1700 on accelerate.  Maybe I could try changing to decelerate and see if it cures the error.  

I never had the problem on my other LPG car and the switchover is transparent!  It’s a piece of cake to change and well worth a try.  Mmm speaking of cake – time for dinner!

Cheers

With this in mind i have changed the required setting to switch gas on decellerate and reset the ECU errors.  So after a couple of short trips i read the ECU and have no errors (for now!)

The engine does not thump when it switches as it did before!!  :y
