    Hi Everyone

    Recently I washed my engine bay down with a gurney I covered the coil packs and most of the lpg stuff but the rest of the motor got a good wetting. After this I did go for a few short drives which were problem free. The next day I dumped the oil and replace with nulon 15w40 oil, new oil filter and new air filter. Upon fitting air filter I noticed a very small piece of the air box had shattered off so I glued it back on with liquid nails. It was The old filter was relatively dirty. Taking the car for a few drives and I have a nastier idle on gas and sometimes when you are idling and go to take off light throttle just above about 1000rpm there is a massive hesitation/flatspot and the car nearly drops back all revs and stalls has done this many times now. I cant duplicate the fault on petrol it seems on gas only just has me worried as i dont want to go pull out in front of someone to have the bloody thing stall, It mucks up at least once out of 3 stops and it seems as soon as u touch the accelerator to go it picks up a bit of revs then want to stall. Any ideas?
