LPG is the Tartarini system (vapouriser type - not direct injection). Yes, it does misfire on LPG but I think this could be due to the plugs being sooted-up. Unfortunately I can't get hold of a scope so I will try to describe the typical needle movements on the multimeter: (in approximate...

OK - done that - no difference - worth a try though. Other suggestions welcome. Alan
