Anybody by any chance know the lambda / ECU wiring on a Chevrolet Astro V6 Van ?? by
chev
Anybody ???
I need this urgently for tomorrow because I have the gas conversion
man coming up to change it to a closed loop system.
Will not bore you all with the details, but I had this converted last
week & although it has a cat, I have only got an open loop system
(which I have been advised is bad news for the CAT)
Many thanks & sorry to make my first post a request, we tend to find

OMVL Dream 21N - '96 RR 4.6 HSE by
Mark Rowbotham
Hi, 2 questions.
1. Where can I download the Dream 21N software as I have lost my laptop
which it was installed on?
2. I have a 4.6 HSE Rangie with the dream system fitted, the only strange
thing is it is using both petrol and gas when running on gas - any ideas?
Cheers

Honda Accord ALDESA multi-point by
chuckie888
I've just had a 2001 Honda Accord 1.8 VTEC S converted to a ALDESA
multi-point system with flashlube but am experiencing problems; I am
getting an erratic idle, it's ok and fast upon initial start but then
stutters to 200-300rpm when just warmed up and then is ok again then
fast after a a hard run (hot). I believe these are the symptoms of an
air leak but the installer insists there isn't one. ...

fuel registration by
david.cawkwell@tesco.net
You write off the DVLA telling them the car has been modified to run on
both and they will
make it dual fuel. I had a Hyundai sonata and it has dual fuel on the
log book.
I wonder if the DVLA want to see any proof. Or what is stopping anybody
registering their car
as dual fuel and therefore avoiding the congestion charge in London.

Mercedes C200 with high petrol emissions by
Peter Cooper
Thanks for the helpful replies so far :)
No warning lights, etc. The car is a Merecedes C200 (petrol) from 1995.
The LPG conversion is a rather old type (over 6 years old) that uses a
French style connector rather than the bayonet (great fun with the
adaptor :)).. if any of that gives anyone any ideas :)
Will see if I can take it round to my local MOT place just to get the
emissions tests done...

Does running on LPG affect petrol emissions? by
Peter Cooper
I've been running on LPG for about six years now. I've run on petrol
from time to time just to make sure it still runs, but not for long.
Last year I accidentally left the switch on petrol for the MOT and.. it
failed spectacularly on emissions. These were no slightly high
emissions.. they were miles off the scale. Back on LPG, however, it
passed with flying colours.
So.. could running on LPG...

Autronic changing to gas HOW?????? by
big jon
Hi I hope there is someone out there who can answer this for me. I have
just purchased a gas conversion which is controlled by an autronic
controller( AL-820/U6). It is computer programmable. THe set up seems
all well and good, but I cannot get it to self calibrate on gas, infact
I cannot get it to do anything on gas. If I press the dash button so it
is running on petrol then it will calibrate...
