When cranking from cold the battery drops down to around 10 volts.
Turns over ok and fires within a second or two of the first turn of the key  :y

Thinking that one of the injector seals maybe damaged as well as the solnoid  :-\
Was going to look for a higher resistance across the coil  :-\

Or I just might be talking 'dangle berries'   ::) ;D

That'll be why it's throwing voltage wobblers then ;) The Stag software is a little anal ::)

You thinking battery then ?

I'm finding that i'm having to run the car after startup for a few minutes without any extra loads before I switch the lpg on manually or it spits its dummy out and don't want to play  :-\

Right, while I was away last weekend with the tin tent, I stuck the volts meter across the terminals on a nice frosty morning and cranked it over.
The meter dropped down to a very un healthy 8.5 volts so this morning I splashed out 62 sheckles on a nice spanking new battery for the shed.
Guess what, its still spitting its dummy out and thowing up low voltage warnings as before  :'( :'(

Any ideas ?

yup! at the risk of sounding like a cracked record(showing my age now)you have a troublesome lpg injector.the message is cryptic,it reports low voltage and you assume(as i did) that its referring to battery voltage but it can also be interpreted as an open circuit on an injector. on my cadillac when i gave it the hurryup i would often find lots of "voltage errors". all my troubles disappeared when i changed the injectors.ps did i mention that valtek's are crap?

He hasn't got Valteks though (IIRC) ;) If they have gone faulty then I expect Teilo may replace them... He's very good at standing by his warranty ;)

That said, Motogas (as they were) are no longer trading so :-\

Don't worry about that, its gramphone records to some on here  ;D ;D ;D

I'm going to totally re plumb the lot next week when I can get my hands on some more pipe (as on another post) and i'll have a play with all bits and bobs then  :(

What make are the gray injector blocks that came with telio's kits ?
If it is a injector block, can you just change one or do you have to change both to the same type ?

Other then this 'dangle berries', the thing is running great.
In fact, i've done 240 miles on a 42 litre gas fill up and its still chugging along  :)

Can I use 2 different types of block or is it a case of replacing both if that ends up as the problem ?

Any recomendations ?

Any of electrical component can cause phenomenon like this if got shortcut sometimes such injector as any valve, which contains electric unit eg coil. During the short period of time of shortcut voltage can be much lower than usual and voila you got a fault code at once.
