Okay, I got the Verada converted to dual fuel about 4 months ago. There are certain laws about slander and the like so I won't say the name of the shop. Just avoid LPG Converters in Marrickville, Sydney.

So the beast ran like a dog. Back it goes for new plugs. I saw the plugs before they went in so I know they were the good Iridium ones. Still runs rough...

New plug leads. I put the FRONT leads in and it ran well for a while. I know it's a good idea to put the back ones in as well, but I haven't bought the gaskets yet... :nuts:

The LPG conversion has an inductive wire wrapped around two leads in the front bank - the centre and left as you would be looking. When I changed the leads I re-wrapped this inductive wire and re-taped it, just like new.

NOW the bloody car has started running like a total DOG on gas. Goes like a dream on petrol but when I switch to gas, it feels like it's missing on a heap of cylinders. Idle is a bit rougher in neutral, and power is negligable.

Any LPG savvy people out there?

The Gas conversion boys who did our falcon recommend against Champion plugs fullstop! NGK all the way. We had a service, they whacked in Champions - car buggered itself - they swore black and blue, changed the plugs to NGK and away she went. Buggered if I know why it makes such a difference, but yeah, Champion no good for gas!

May be other things wrong thogh.
