Gas pressure now adjusted to 1.1 bar ish at idle but its still struggleing at high engine load / speed and throwing a eml light in just to pish me off. :(

The car will run on gas as long as I don't push it  :(

Right, Honesty time  :-[

I'm struggling to get this lpg setup right  ::) :-[

I'm going to give it one last go this evening.
If I can't get the tinker working well after that, any chance I can pay one of you lpg hero's a visit ?

I know i'm miles away from you all ( Hull ) at the moment but I will be staying down in Skegness      
(Lincolnshire) from tomorrow until next monday  :y

Can anybody help please, I promise i'll be on my best behavour  ;D :y

What fault code?

If it's struggling at high RPM then something is amiss as all the ones I've done (4 or 5) with that reducer have been fine :y

What's the service history on the car? Plugs, leads and DisPack all in good condition?

I might be able to arrange something if I'm heading that way for a meeting in the next week or 2 but can't promise anything

Same codes as before.

The engine has done around 130,000 miles
No rattles or anything.
The coil pack / leads / plugs are all 18 months old.
New ish exhaust and 2 new cat's this year.

Basiclly it can use a little oil ( stem seals / 1/2 ltr a month steady townwork )
Other then that, it goes like sh*t of a shovel ( on a private road )  ;D ;D ;D

Are you around home this week ?

I know your area.
Was stationed at Raf Honnington for 6 months

Would it be easier if I came to you if thats more convienent ?

What's that 18 months in mileage?

MAF sensor code worries me a bit :-/

I'm just trying to sort out a trip up to Leeds for a meeting in the next few days... If I can get it sorted we'll meet up somewhere in the afternoon/evening (although you'll have to play it by ear time wise as I have no idea how long I'll be in the meeting!)

Honnington is still a long way from me ;) And, TBH, doing things at my house is a little awkward at the moment :(

Plugs ect have done about 10,000 miles
I've a spare maf in the cupboard so I'll stick it in the suitcase  :)

I will be off the forum from tomorrow morning but I will be able to pickup pm's or my phone will be on  :y

To be honest, knowing me ( and feel free to agree here  ;D ;D ) 
I think its something I'm doing wrong with the setting / setup and mapping  :-[

Cheers Paul

Well... thats been an interesting read...

Sounds like the same problem I am having(ish).

I'm too scared to mess about with anything under the hood, so today she is off to Gas Power UK just outside of Exeter.

They are going to look at it and I'll let you know what they said if it's relevant!
