hey guys, my engine goes off very often when I stop at the lights.
The idle's not very good when it's on D,it's fine on N,about 800rpm and goes down to 600rpm to 500rpm on D,spark plugs and leads are new,throttlebody has been cleaned too, but still no good. Any ideas anyone? Help plsss . 
Also thanks for the advice on engine oil,I changed it to penrite hpr 10w50 oil and no more low pressure warning. thank you

Check your Ground wires... All of them.
Get a multimeter and put it from the Battery Negative to the Block. Also to the body. Any more than about .05 and your engine will have trouble running at idle due to oxygen sensor troubles. I had this. Ive just changed to a new cable, and run a seperate one from the Block to the Body. All now good, and my car idles better on LPG than it ever has. Fuel is still a little rough for me, but thats what you get with a standard EF ECU and a Ticky VCT Engine I guess. |
