as some of you are aware i have recently changed my head gaskets on my 2000 p38 4.6 vogue.
on completion of the task i started up the car and she ticks over lovely and has no leaks, took her on a 10 mile drive and all seemed great. next day i decided to take her for good run and took her on a 45 mile run without any problems at all. started the return journey and after about 5 or so miles she starts to lose power and wont rev freely whilst driving on lpg got to a point where she was doing 10 mph up hill and kangerooing like a learner driver, stopped turned her off and checked all the fuel lines all seem ok, started her up, little reluctant to start, done it again, switched to petrol and all seemed fine,
next morning checked her again and tightened everything down again and all seemed fine again for a little while, its still loosing power but not as bad, she has always started first turn of the key even when warm, now i have to pump the throttle to get her to start.
any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated
