Yep, so have I. At one stage I had the LPG ECU with its pants down and scoped every one of its lines to see if there was a diagnostics code to be had anywhere. While running and also on power up. I could find one that appeared just after power up that looks like a diagnostics code but I can't make sense of it....yet. It'll be in there somewhere!
If you do come across a code you're trying to figure out run it by me as I've been collecting LPG manuals for some time now and anything to do with koltec/necam stuff.

A paradox. I have no startign issues, whereas you're on the edge of driveability by the sound of it.

Hmmn interesting. Yes mines done about 126K miles on LPG and under about 1K on petrol. It's been driven on petrol so little that my other half and I would take the mick out of one another for burning petrol. Buying petrol became a real closet thing :-).

I suspect it will not work but so cheap it si worth a go. I'll fuel my car with the stuff for 3-4 tanks to see it if flushes thru'.

Be interesting to know how that goes. Not sure which setup I have but will try to figure it out. Will have a look at those links a bit later. Ta.

In Jim's injector cleaning thread somebody asked the question ' Hi would you happen to know what cc the t5 injectors flow please' and Jim answered 'Orange 315cc blues 366cc @ 3 bar. Temperature/humidity dependant'. So it looks like the colour denotes capacity and some other spec too. I'm sure somebody on the wider forum knows a lot about this stuff.
