please help it just wont start 98 gu tb45e auto

Post by offroader-rama »

Hi I have as above not so long ago the engine light would come on occasionally, I checked all the basics couldn't find anything wrong with the car it drove fine until I switched it from lpg to petrol, on lpg does everything as normal on petrol it sometimes goes some times doesn't so I thought easy that would be the fuel pump on its way out for sure.

So I avoided petrol until I got around replacing the pump.

However last night driving home I ran out of lpg flicked it to petrol and it ran fine no flashing engine light i was closer to home than the servo so i drove home no problem, then this morning I got in it to start it and it wont start with engine light flashing.

It'll fire every now and then but wont hold it running so yes i thought fuel pump gone, so after some mucking around i brought a 300lph DW performance universal pump, I fitted it but I still have the same issue fires occasionally but wont run now that the carpet is up i can hear the pump priming when the key is turned. but no running and as I have no lpg in it i cant drive it to get it scanned ? any ideas before the wallet falls over i have a scan tool but only has a a ob11 fitting.
and as its the missus car of cause now its a major drama !!!!

i ve been narrowing it down, heaps of pressure at the rail, rules out filter but i have no injector pulse.

so need to work out how to over ride LPG / petrol switch to see if its the gas set up, ecu or could be faulty air flow meter ?

waiting for tow truck to take it to a servo to fill it with lpg then go from there.

I got towed to servo filled with gas started first go as I thought it would, I drive 15 minutes home pick up the misses take her 50 minute drive to the dentist, I waited in the pub across the road ( as you do ) she finishes we jump in the car start it put it in drive then it stalls and wont start again on lpg now !!!

I upon the bonnet and the gas filter attached to the solenoid is leaking gas

Cant see how this would stop an injector pulse though ???

So I ring around for a lpg specialist pfffft 1:30 42 deg saturday as if there going to be open

So racq tow truck home.

Its a primitive spud type mixer, zavoli converter and gastec processor.

is the red light ontop of the dash blinking?

sounds like you have an imobiliser problem, more than likely the transponder chip in your key
