hey guys, was hoping someone could help out with a recent prob in my gas sys. Just lately my car has the annoying habit of backfiring on gas SOMETIMES when i put my foot down. Any ideas?? Could it be that the selonid in the converter is playing up so an incorrect mix ratio??? :shock:
Any help please.... :cry:

i hope when ur starting the car u dont put the foot down to hard to the point of doing wat stupid sales people did at work a week ago, for about ten mins they were trying to start this aftermarket gas system that was fitted onto a jeep and as soon as the guys went away for a bit, different guy starts the car starts reving it for a bit then bang the air box blew, and the jeep was pretty much a delivery for that day i think.

if the LPG mixes cant be adjusted then full Tune Up

Lean mixures are the source of backfires if ignition leeds and plugs can be ruled out. I assume that you still have not replaced the stepper motor. If so your workaround you replaced it with could be adjusted too lean.

nah not the plugs or leads as i just changed em last service...infact the prob only started once i did change em
the old plugs looked rooted, they had a white/grey carbon residue on them and were worn----not sure of the source.
thought the prob was that the engine running rich as im not get'n as many kms as i use too but my mates recon it s the age of hte car :evil:
Any ideas how i can pinpoint the source?
cheers guys
