double bugger, poop and damn!!!! :x :x :x :x i've got the exhaust back on, minus the catalytic internals and... IT'S STILL THE SAME!!! goes straight into limp mode the minute it's switched to petrol, my next step is to change the fuel pressure regulator as i understand this is a cause of limp mode

no, i've not got two ignition systems, just the one. but the lpg does have it own ecu... theres a lot of myths associated with lpg, but it's not that much of a complicated system (altho they do need to be professionally installed) once you beak them down to they're parts and what they do. having sai...

just thought i'd add incase the info helps anyones diagnosis...

on lpg she's fine. revs, pulls, runs perfectly. but as soon as i switch to petrol she goes into limp, switch her back to lpg and off to go (no disconnecting the battery to reset the ecu)

lpg = running fine

bugger.... i've got the pipe off, only cost me two knuckles, a bit of rust in the eye and two snapped studs!!! but, now i've opened up the cats, they're not looking too bad (i've seen worse) and am starting to doubt my original diagnosis for my petrol limp mode... :( :( :( :( i'm gonna carry on and ...

a little tip i've just been told that, i think could be a help to other new users of lpg, esp with a millenium/leonardo single point lpg system... if, when driving on lpg, you experience a loss of power, lack of throttle response combined with a mild popping thru the airbox.... YOU'VE RUN OUT OF LPG...

any way i can adjust the mixture/richen her up a bit???

thank you, it's confirms what i was thinking... i'm going to empty out the cats, my thoughts are.... plan A - take the exhaust off, find a length of bar and beat the living sh...ugar out of the cats internals untill theres nothing left inside or... plan B - take the exhaust off, cut a 'flap' in each...

found the problem... a blue wire from one tank solenoid to the other tank solenoid melted and stuck to my exhaust middle box having a whale of a time shorting out!!!! i've cut out the bad bit of wire and lengthened it so i could re-route it away from the exhaust/heat. no more blowing fuses!!!! now o...

it has a ecu and a connection to plug something in, but i don't know what i need to plug into it...
