hi all, my au has developed probs with the gas. What happens is when i drive the car on gas about every 7-10 mins it will die in the a*** for bout 10 seconds, no power, cant accel, just turns into a zombie. What could this be? Does petrol and lpg have seperate fuel pumps or do they run on same one? Its a stm auto gas unit. Also when it has its turn i switch to pet and it comes back to life and driues fine on petrol . I know one of my valves or valve seats a on the way out could this be contributing to this? Any help or opinions appreciated. Thanks in advance

hey mate, i just got a similar problem fixed today on my missus AU. ended up being the processer unit was s**t. it only worked when it wanted to. it would run on idle when started but as soon as you touched the accelerator it died instantly. $488 later.. the problem was rectified. plugs could also be part of the problem... since i got them changed as well.

If it was plugs or leads you should notice it. I have had no experience with your type of gas system. But you check all the solenoids, by pulling them out and bridging them across a car battery and see if they pop out and retract.

no, its still f¥?@+£¤d getting worse. No power under load, idles fine. Where are these solenoids you mentiond mate so i can check em also a mate of mine tells me that there is a button on the side of the condenser/mixer (the round thing the water and gas go into) that drains the sludge out ive lookd and there is none. It is a stm gas systm. Is there vacuum hoses on a gas system that i can check. Seriously doin my head in, im about to foresake ford
