Hi everyone,
I have just signed up from not so sunny England as I was hoping to get some help with a problem on my 2002 VU Ute (LS1)
I really wish I hadn't started working on it today, but as I had the day off work I wanted to clean up the engine bay and remove the remainder of the crappy LPG wiring. The LPG was disconnected before I ever got the car, but the changeover switch was still in the dash and lit up.
So today I removed the rest of the system which all seemed to go well. It was only the changeover switch, a few earths and a single injector cable that I had to disconnect from the car, but now it won't start!
The fuel pump relay clicks, fuses are all ok but the fuel pump wont prime. It will crank but not start.
I have a feeling the changeover switch was left in as it was somehow allowing the petrol fuel system to continue working. I don't know how these are normally wired up and how it can be stopping the fuel pump, but I guess its job originally would be to stop the pump when the car is running on LPG. Annoying though as I cannot see anywhere else that looks like the original loom has been broken into.
Sorry for the long post, and I hope I have explained it ok. I would be massively grateful if anyone has any LPG experience on these cars.
