The LPG cuts out and usually straight back on again but ........
It does not do it ALL the time, sometimes it idles fine, (around 500-600rpm) it is very inconsistent but consistent enough to happen several times a day,maybe 5-10 times in the space of one hour of city driving.
Never while under acceleration
Never with revs over 11/1200 rpm
I can hear what I presume to be a solenoid? in or around the LPG tank clicking on/off sometimes repeatedly until I accelerate away or switch to petrol.
It sounds to me like the idle is too low but having never adjusted an LPG system I’m not sure. Its only started to do it in the past 2 weeks or so and seems to be getting worse, but maybe that’s my imagination.
What I don’t want to do is turn up the idle and mask some unrelated problem, if you know what I mean.
I have replaced the following after this issue arose and it has made no difference:
Spark plugs, (iridium, gapped -1, heat range -1)
Distributor cap & rotor arm
ignition leads
coil
condenser
vavuum advance, about 2 weeks prior to issue
