Anybody know anything about LPG?
Discussion
Hey folks,
I have a 1997 4.0ltr v6 Ford Explorer with a Romano Sequential LPG system. Only problem is that it's really stuttery. It seems to have issues between 2000 and 3000rpm when it comes on load. I have only just bought the car and it's always had this problem.
Now, the car has only got a single vaperisor - feeding six injectors. I think that this is possibly the problem. I have done a little research on the internet and it seems that most v6 engines have two vapourisers.
What do you think folks?

Not too sure on Jeeps but the system on my old Rangie was a single vapouriser feeding into the plenum chamber. This then fed the 2 banks.
Biggest problem I found was ingnition system not being up to scratch. Need to use a good quality lead and make sure there is no arcing. Not sure if it is applicable but the coil and dizzy cap needed to be in good nick too.
Next check all your hoses for wear and tears. Splits will let in extra air and cause all sorts of problems.
Best get it to a reputable LPG installer for diagnosis.

Don't too much about what your problem is there but I had a prins system fitted to my BMW 330i and had no probs. I used this company which I can highly reccomend for honest proffesional advice.
