    Default VS UTE 5 lltr hesistates on take off only, on Petrol GAS ok??

    HI, i recentl purchased a vs ute with a 5litr in it
    i have noticed when iderive the car on pterol it tends to hesistate as soon as i accelerae, once the revs are above 1000rpm all is ok, i have noticed this is getting increasingly worse int e last few weeks.

    when runnin on gas there is no problem all is ok?

    does this sound lke a common problem? i

    it did haver a starting issue on petrol but a new fuel reg fixed that.

    could it be the air flow meter??

    any ideas please thanks.

    Usually dual fuel cars are only tuned to run on one fuel, and that's usually gas. That may be the problem.

    I got one 2,maybe the same thing it's dirty and or worn injectors running gas tends to gum them up over time.Put some high octane through it's got the cleaners in it,if that don't work there's rooster's around like the windscreen people they will come to you in a van and sort it,also hot tip keep the throttle body clean.
