2003 S80 bi-fuel won’t switch to LPG
recently bought a 2003 s80 bi-fuel ( wife won’t let me drive the 2.5T anymore) anyway got it for a steel as the LPG system didn’t work , as I said to the wife “how hard can I be ?” Well :
1. Changed the vapourisor elbow and solenoid 2. fitted a new filter 3. Checked fuses 4. Stripped down the distributor , cleaned thoroughly and found a small piece of (possibly O ring ) stuck in the side of the stepper motor , gave it a little push and it popped out , I now know this was not a good think to do . 5. Found a faulty injector and replaced for new . 6. Checked the plugs ( they’re the multi point type ) going to change for bog standard NGK 7. Got plenty of heat circulating around the regulator. 8. Got a click sound from the boot area when operating the switch but not from the solenoid under the bonnet . 9. Tank is 3/4 full and as metioned there’s gas to the dizzy 10 . Screemed “why won’t you work” at it ! I’ve read all the posts a learnt plenty from the guys on here , I’d be happy right now if it just ran a little , even if it was rough , cut out after 10 miles , misfired , backfired or just broke wind ! Autogas 2000 have been great so far and I’d recommend them highly. Is there anyone out there with any help , advise or similar experience to mine please ? |

If the vapouriser solenoid is not clicking then have you cleaned inside it?
If clean inside then try a new coil on it https://www.classicswede.co.uk/Bifue..._10879079.aspx |

Have you checked the solenoid operation by applying 12v from an external supply to see if it switches?

Cheers for that , I haven’t to be honest I’ll give that a go , that one should activate with the switch along with the rear one (obviously) I was wondering if the temperature sensor in the head would have to send a signal before the front one would operate.
