What is it???

i recently had a problem with my 97 V8 not starting and also slight issues with tick over speed. Found that the gap on the Distributer base plate and pick up arm was to great(air gap haynes manual called it). Could always pick up the slack on the accelarator cable Daz

Well its done.......I think there must have beeen a dodgy mechanic used on this Disco!!!!!!!! Guess what, after 2 days of head scratching and saying 'how fu@kin much!!!!!':eek: its sorted costing nowt!!!!! The air gap on the 'Distributor base plate and pick up'...

on average they are about 54p ltr around here. I can get it at 50p ltr if i travel a bit but then ive lost the saving. Got an update for all the lpg stations for my satnav, so that helps

Slight change to my last,it does make a difference while running,lumpyish. Anyway got Mr AA man out as now it wont start atall. Traced it down to the Distributor, The distributor is not giving out 0.5volts(or above) to trigger the coil/amplifier to switch on n off.... Only triggering...

Hi colin, when it starts it runs like a dream. Dont think its thirsty on gas. For about £18-20 i can do about 100 miles, think thats about right. On petrol ye i do think its a thirsty bugger. It did used to back fire when i first got it when it was on gas. think the previous owner had...

Another update: when it wont start if i disconnect the airbox and place my hand over the end of the air mass meter(sealing it) it then starts?????? Just got to remove my hand quick or it take my hand off and then connect it back to the airbox??? Wierd!!!!!!

What wire filament,cant see one?????????

Its not, unfortunately. Its the soloniod for the gas supply to the vaperisor

just an update: When the engine goes cold or left for a long time it wont start again??????:confused:

Hi col, cant find a solonoid, i think it may be control by turning the fuel pump off. However if that is the case then would it not run when i spray 'easystart' in it??. The fuel must be ON to be running. Some one has suggested that it might be the fuel pressure regulater. Explained...

Ive had a very simular problem wi my V8 LPG. Did the usual going down the new HT system. Found the problem in the end......On the ignition amplifier(next to the coil) there is a plug with 3 wires going into it. The middle one (black i think) had been pushed out of the socket. Pushed it...

I really do hope so coz i cant keep doing that daily!!!

I always start on petrol anyway, however you dont get a choice,it automatically starts on petrol,even if gas is selected until you go above 1500 revs. Just to make something clearer, now it has started once on 'easy start' it now starts every time on the key with no problems
