problem with any intermittent fault is just that.....how do you diagnose it properly?

Hi Steve
How long/ks since the leads/plugs were changed????Theye are nearly the root of LPG problems and the first thing a mechanic will change.I would get a good set yourself and change them,see if that fixes it.At least you will save some $$$$ and possibly fix the problem.
My Bro has a really god LPG mate,but on the other side of the planet to you.
Drivesafe Autogas,Rockingham.Spencer is the man 0895921300,tell him you are a mate of Andy and Matt,the Landy Bros,he will look after you.Nice bloke.

Hi Steve
Cant remember, is yours a BA/BF????
Not so easy(or cheap) to just change the leads on them!!!!
If it is I can PM my bros number,he possibly can give you a few pointers.
Andrew

Hi All

Thanks for the advice.
It's a BA falcon.
I have just changed the plugs, your right Andy a bit of a pain.
But seeing as I was removing the valve/rocker cover anyway it wasn't such a hardship.

I was a bit reluctant to change the leads straight off because each of the 6 cylinders have it’s own coil built into the lead.
I’m sure it’s not going to be cheap. I suppose I’ll just have to suffer it though.

I did notice that when I changed the plugs the leads had a slight white powder on some of them but not a lot. I was told this is not good but I wasn’t sure how much isn’t good or any at all and they need changing?
I’ll price them up tomorrow.

I hate spending money on my Ford.
Funny thing it I was just pricing up some magnacore leads for the Rangie and it’s running fine.

Hi Steve
Will send you my Bros numbers,he may even phone Spencer for you and tell you what its likely to be.
Andrew

Hi Andy
thanks m8

I think i'll get the leads changed after that I'll be stumped.
If that doesn't work I'll give him a call, shame it's down Rockingham though.

just an update .............
I changed the plugs which after a week or so improved things no end. dunno why it wasn't straight away though? I got those iridium thingys. only $12 each.

I didn't bother changing the coil packs as there are 6 @ $70 each ! and I thought landys were expensive.

Does anyone know if you can test a coil pack ?

Still a very slight miss now and again but not as bad as before, if you drove it you prob wouldn't notice it if I didn't point it out, oh and no back fire.

So much for Ford Dealer services !
I think I'll stick with a friendly local Landy mechanic, I guess mentioning his name would be advertising but most from WA know him by now anyway
