Hi,
I made LPG conversion (actually shop made it) recently, and altrough it is running fine when driving, it is having some problems when idling, and especially when idling in (D) with brakes on.
In such cases (idle in (D), brakes on) it seems that engine has no power to run, but it still runs, has regular RPM's (around 800-900) but shaking really bad. I don't like the feeling. But as soon as I start driving, everything is ok. Highway speed is great, I can hardly see any loss of power then.
Did anyone else with LPG conversion experienced similar/same problems ? And what did you do to fix it ?
Btw, I made at least 30 visits to the shop, to 'adjust' it, 'fix' it.. but they are clueless. They apparently tracked it down to bad vacuum connection at air filter box, and it ran fine for a day.. or less. I tried to change that L fitting with one that is even more tight, and it didn't help.. Maybe it is leaking somewhere else.
Btw2, I've changed O2 sensor, and cleaned throttle body. Filter is new, but unfortunately box is cracked a bit (I know, I need to fix it asap).. Does it matter very much ??
Thanks!!
