The car is a stock dual fuel XF Falcon 4.1L Auto
stalls straight away when cold and idles really low/rough and takes like 5 times to get it started too. I've replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump. Here's what I noticed if I slightly close the choke butterfly when warm while engine is roughly idling on petrol it idles better To me its running lean then, but the mixture screw is 2 1/2 turns out I even tried richening the mixture and it didnt make a difference on the idle. I couldnt even drive it on petrol as it stalls if I let go of the accelerator pedal. I tried advancing the timing and made no difference. it drives good on LPG Any ideas? |

It could be your vacum sensor on the firewall, unhook all the vacum lines with engine running and attach them one at a time and when it cut s engine revs, thats the one that not working properly. I spent $5000 on trying to get mine to run properly. Unhhooked the vacum lines to sensor and it even starts on gas now. The car sounds/ run A1 now after all the workshops and mechanics told me I need this and that, new this and that. Easy to fix. Moreton.
