Cherokee running rough - Any ideas
From a point at sea, to the circles of your mind, this is Austin
Shackles:
if it starts OK and deteriorates, then I'd still favour it not
stopping the cold-start enrichment.
I've been thinking this. Although my car is an earlier generation of
fuel injection, I found that I had to patch the wiring of the
cold-start enrichment device into the LPG system. If I didn't do this,
then switching to petrol on a warm engine would still register as a
cold engine to the petrol system, since the enrichment device had not
had a chance to warm up[1]. Result - very rich mixture, rough running,
and hard warm starting on petrol.
But, Raymond, you don't need to keep re-starting on petrol. Once a day
is more than enough to keep the petrol system working properly. All
subsequent starts can be on LPG without any problems. That's how I do
it.
[1] If you're confused by the logic of this, the cold start enricment
device is artificially heated by a small coil; it doesn't simply
detect the heat of the engine. Turn the coil off, and it behaves as if
the engine is still cold.
Am I being clear? More beer, vicar?
