Guys and girls, I have a VZ Exec sedan which is running on dual fuel (has a Sprint Gas system installed). While running on gas, it's started to develop some annoying (minor, I guess) problems. It's just had its first year service on the LPG system and just before I booked it in the gas system shut down and wouldn't run at all - the LEDs on the meter flashed at me and it beeped. The guys that serviced it reckoned it had a faulty mapping sensor or something which Sprint replaced under warranty.
Soon after the gas service I noticed it would idle a little badly and when under load the engine would shudder and lose power like it was missing on a cylinder. It ran fine on petrol (I use 91 RON right now). I took it back and the guys replaced the spark plugs because they weren't done for some reason. That fixed THAT problem, but now it's still a bit crap.
Even when the engine is warm it idles a little badly when on gas. I really notice it funnily enough when the aircon is on - the car will shake at the lights because the engine is idling roughly, and then when I take off it hesitates a bit before giving me any form of power more useful than a morris minor!
Any ideas? Should I take it back to the gas guys again and complain?
