Yesterday arvo the car died. I was at a Supermarket, did some shopping and came out to start her up and go home. She started OK then stopped! The ECU light stayed on and the RACV took 50 minutes to get there....Grrrrr.

He had NO IDEA and arranged a Tow, the towie had more of an idea than the roadside guy :rant: and we towed it to the mechanic closest to home. I did notice the LPG/Petrol switch had no power as well as the little black box on the firewall.

This morning the Mechanic had a quick look but he doesn't do LPG and suggested I take it to a LPG specialist. Now I'm waiting for the two truck to take it to the former Magna Brunswick mechanic as he is now an LPG specialist and I always took my old TN to him when the poor old thing was still around. I have spoken to him for over 1 year and he still recognised my voice when I called, he is confident from my description he can fix it quickly as he always did with the old TN knowing it's a working car.

Fingers crossed it is something easy and cheap!

Check the fuses. Somewhere on the lpg wiring there should be a fuse it may have blown good be behind the change over switch under the dash or engine bay depending on how they wired it.

It's been at the Mechanics all day and they have no idea whats wrong .... They called earlier to ask if the car has been working on Petrol but saying yes didn't help em.

I'll have another chat to em in the morning and suggest that fuse but I will be VERY disappointed if they haven't already checked that, VERY Disappointed if ya know what I mean.

Seems the Injectors aren't injecting, nothing to do with the switch!
