    Hey once again guys.
    My calais shakes around quite a lot when im idling also when im moving very slowly i can feel it tug un evenly.. is there a fix for this .. what could be causing it? im thinking its the injectors .. im not sure to buy new ones cause my car runs on both petrol and lpg (i use petrol) and im not sure if the injectors have to be some kind of special duel fuel injectors?
    any help would be appreciated
    thanks

    I dont think duel fuel injector's is how it work's, However i have never owned gas so have never looked into it

    Could just be running rough, As in need's a good service

    Try new spark plug's, lead's, Injector cleaner in full tank of 98, Clean intake manafold and see how that goes..May run good afterwards

    Long shot here, but a rough idle can indicated worn engine mounts. If they've not been done, it could be that.
