I have a jeep wrangler 4.0 mpi ...with a LPG gas conversion

it is becoming difficult to start and when on petrol it
stutters........fine if i get it started but as soon as the thottle is
floored .......back firing and stutters (me thinks fuel starvation?)

on lpg its fine...........

or is it a fault on the petrol side........pump
...regulator...injectors?

pump works ........not pressure tested....tank cleaned out.

any help.........thanks

 

Backfire usually means spark issues to me....

Do you live anywhere where it is cold enough to cause condensation to
freeze up?

I note the use of the word petrol, but just around freezing temps and
non or low use of the gas with less than a full tank in it can cause a
lot of condensation in the gas tank. This can plug up the pickup
sock/filter in the tank with ice beads.

Maybe try some gas line antifreeze?
