I had the same problem. Tried everything, and I mean everything. Ended up being leaking intake gasket around number 6. I tried O2, coil, plugs, leads, Cam angle sensor, Crank angle sensor, LPG tune, LPG diaphragm, checked for broken valve springs, checked for blown head gasket and probably more that I can't remember.

The leak was very small and hard to get to with normal tests (spraying WD40, etc) I ended up dribbling oil around the gasket area and after a while I got a change in rpm. It seemed to take a while for the oil to make its way down and get sucked in Replaced gasket and car was perfect.

cheers
Scott

could be either inlet gasket or injectors might be a bit uneven in spray mixtures
