Hi guys I need some advice, my El Fairmont will not start after I removed, tested and now reinstalled lpg tank, it's dual fuel and won't fire on petrol, just the engine turning over, battery was removed for a couple weeks while tank was out, it has a vaille management system near bbm, can't get it to servo to put lpg in to try starting on gas, tank completely empty because testing. Was running before the tank coming out, yes does have fuel in it not a lot but enough. What am I missing or how do I get her started, or do I need to reprogram the ecu, ecu's. Help?

1) Make sure power is getting to fuel pump. If no power, ECU will not let fuel pump run therefor no fuel to cyls.
2) make sure fuel pump is running. 3) Check spark plugs to see if firing. (see 1 above) Also see if they are damp/black = fuel to cyl but no spark. 4) Check that fuel switch has power to it. (and is in the right position  )5) Put a squirt of "Start Ya Bastard" ( Nulon) into the air filterr/throttle body and see if any result. If starts albeit briefly, fuel is the problem. If not, spark is the problem.

Defiantly has spark , sorry already checked that before original post , I do need to confirm fuel pump is priming \running .
Is it possible gas ecu has main control ? If so how do I isolate or disable vialle ecu so the factory ecu gains control ? Car was running on petrol before I removed the battery and put on charge, I changed leads and checked plugs while the LPG tank was being tested , car was running fine . Basically turned the engine off removed the battery and placed on charge but then it took me a week before I had time to reinstall the LPG tank and battery , I made no changes in that period . I will check fuel switch has power led didn't seem to be alight . Sorry I really hate \wont be using start ya bastard or aerosol etc , may mist bit fuel in if I need to go there . |
