    Default IDEL Reves

    When you car is ideling, what does your reve needle go down to? I'm asking because the LPG service person might have played with my engine. I'm sitting at 500 rpm and I can also see the fuel consumption going up.

    How much 'instant fuel' does your car use when idel? Is it below 3l/h

    I still think something is a little wrong... when I cruze at 80 and come to an incline, I take my foot off the accelerator the rev needle drops, goes up again, drops, goes up again. I can feel it in the car. Thats when the car is moving

    I spoke the the LPG mechanic (who is also a car mechanic not just LPG installer) and he says it may be the computer needing time to adjust and get used to my driving style. If its not solved by Monday, I should bring it back.
