Hi all, my VS V6 continues to backfire whilst Running on LPG when i have simply forgotten to change down a gear for say, going up a hill or overtaking, or catching that amber light... when normally the engine produces enough torque to not require that gear change... i'm afraid to lend my car to anyone, in case it happens to them, and Fcuk its embarrassing! plus its a pain in the bum, and i would like to once and for all, gather all the experts together to find a definitive solution to this problem...
I have replaced my leads with LPG 8.0 MM leads
I have replaced the spark plugs
I have replaced the coil pack with one known to be working perfectly on another Holden running on LPG
I have enriched the mixture,
I have replace the air-box with a pod filter to prevent Air-box Explosions
I have replace the THE LPG Tank,
I Have replaced the lines,
I have Checked and replaced vacuum lines
I have checked the exhaust for leaks.
I have checked and cleaned from pod filter to the E.F.I and cleaned the plenum chamber and checked for leaks.
I have done damn near everything else i have been told to do, and still it backfires and blows the darn intake pipe off and sometimes the clamps, which get lost on the road...
is there a better position for the return hose to sit? i'm buggered if i know how anyone runs them on LPG without this issue... and like i said, it would be nice to find a solution to this issue, so anyone else out there with this issue with a V6 Ecotec can perhaps not have as much of a **** of a time like i have.
If you have the solution, please for the love of H.O.L.D.E.N, share that wealth of information with the rest of us...
