V50 p0172, still no fix.
Hi.
V50r 2.4i 2004 214,000km Lpg added 2016 I've had the code p0172 since I owned the car for18 months now. other codes include P0300, multiple misfire and P0137 o2 sensor voltage low (first time I saw that one) Parts I have replaced. Sparkplugs with 1 electrode Air filter MAF sensor Lambda,2 Throttle Body, Oem. Battery. At first when I got the vehicle it had a hard job driving at low revs and giving throttle, like out of a roundabout, so I would have to shift down to alleviate misfiring, after changing the spark plugs it,s 80% better. Driving on Petrol is ls ways better. There was a period for about 5 months where I only used Petrol and no engine light came on. I think the problems are associated with the LPG side of things. I went to an LPG mechanic and he did something ? for 200 euros so Idling on petrol or lpg is really steady now. The engine lamp is still on. I use the Volvo every day and it seems to drive fine but one thing I now do is to turn the Lpg off until the engine temperature shows 90 as in cold weather the Lpg switches over to early and I get a warning to switch the Lpg off, so I wait a few more km before switching over. I don't think I have a vacuum leak, I tried an improvised Smoke test and didn't see anything obvious. I have a screen shot of the LTFT reading -23.4, so that's quit bad from what I have been reading STFT was 10.2% engine speed 721 MAF 4.02 Time since engine start, 26 sec, which means its on petrol. Fuel system 1 status CL which I think means closed. I really don't know what to do, Mechanics don't like Lpg and Lpg mechanics don't really mess with engines. I phoned a few Mechanicīs but they donīt have Volvo software. If I found a Volvo Mechanic they'll probably charge me 300 euros to tell me to find an Lpg mechanic, that's my fear anyway. Anyhow I hope someone has an idea about this. Last edited by John Mawson; Mar 6th, 2023 at 16:12. |
