Idling Problems with gas conversion
Hi all
I hope someone can help!! I've got a Honda Accord (99) which i had converted to gas a year ago. When I drive the car in petrol mode, its fine and never cuts off. But when I drive in gas mode, its fine for a few days, but then the engine management light on the dash board lights up and the car starts cutting off. This cycle continues all the time and I've been down to the garage where I had the conversion done, but they've got no answers to the problem apart from blaming the car for not been suitable for gas conversion (which they carried out). Anyone have a clue of whats going on with the car??? Its getting to a point where the car has become dangerous to drive as it cuts off on traffic lights when i slow down. Please give suggestions!!!! Thanks Rouhel |

Re: Idling Problems with gas conversion
It sounds like the gas/air ratio isn't adjusted right, and the engine is
getting carbon deposits from running on gas, thus fouling the spark plugs. The gas system either isn't adjusted properly, or has improper parts. A work around is to operate on petrol every few days, or when the car starts cutting off. The real fix is to get the gas/air mixture adjusted properly. A diagnostic is to check the spark plug condition when the problem occurs. You need to find a mechanic who is competent to service and troubleshoot this system, not just install it out of the box.

Re: Idling Problems with gas conversion
Another possibility is that the stock spark plugs are not of the proper heat
range for use with gas, but I wouldn't know how to recommend the correct ones. This is the sort of thing that your gas conversion kit manufacturer should be familiar with.

Re: Idling Problems with gas conversion
The gas company in my town runs their truck on LPG without problems. This
used to be a real common problem in the days of single throttle return springs without any gas being involved at all. When did they finally come out with double return springs, 1976? You fellas probably scared this guy off with your anti-Honda pro-Jeep comments anyway. Nobody in the Honda ng has a clue either. Earle "L.W.

Re: Idling Problems with gas conversion
The first car I remember my parents having was some sort of Willys running
on LP. It looked kind of like this, but it was light blue and white, and without the extras. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...WAGON_1958.jpg IIRC it worked fine until my parents sold it because of the rust in the floor. (They didn't want us kids falling through the floor.) I do remember being sad about that, because it was my favorite car. I'll ask my dad about it, because since they sold it when I was around 7, the IIRC has a very big If in it.
