If its the crankshaft sensor I'd expect petrol to be affected as well?

Also added a note in to the previous post - you might want to check they will supply the software with the cable, not sure offhand how easy the stag software is to find.

Today i am sure i had some miss on petrol as well

Where abouts is simon ?
She does run on gas and have been doing so since i had her but one side trim is high.
As to the missfire i have done everything else it seems ! Do you you think that the crank shaft sensor could cause it and now its stuttering its getting worse ? Or would it just shut down ?

Unlikely I know, but a dodgy TPS would have potential to mess up both gear changes and fuelling..

Likely that the connection issue is as Gilbert said, wrong cable, or the installer might have tried to use wrong Stag software. Some installers that recently started fitting Stag may only have Stag Qbox software, or installers that dabbled with Stag in it's early days may only have older Stag software, neither of which are compatible with ISA2, Some connection issues can be sorted as easily as pulling the LPG system fuse and putting back in. If the installer didn't know what cable or software to use for such a common system I wouldn't be very confident of their abilities...

A lot of installers who fit Stag hardly bother to address pressure and nozzle size. For any type of injectors selected in software the Stag will suggest a minimum allowable pulse duration, sometimes this can mean running rich at idle and during over-run (but the real issue in the case of a P38 would be pressure / nozzle size). Most installers who fit Stag don't bother to do a proper manual job of calibration, instead they rely on the system's auto-tuning facility... This doesn't work well in the best of circumstances but if the vehicle develops a fault (like a broken lambda) the autotune can really mess up calibration if left enabled.

Simon

He gave command over to the lpg shop who tried for an hour and only after this did he suggest the lead may be wrong ! O and £90 later as well, shall i run her on gas or not ?

It'll only show warnings on the dash if it's an electronic problem, if it's something mechanical, then you won't get a warning except when the mechanical side and electronic side are doing different things. So if it's something that's come loose inside the gearbox, for instance, you won't get a warning message. For what you paid for that gearbox rebuild I'd be taking it back for a refund and getting a known good one from Ashcrofts.

I have rang the company and they have booked it in for thursday next week mate, only had it done as wanted a sound car kind of wish i had not now !
It does seem to be a gearbox or at least drivtrain issue but also still have a miss now and then ! Driving me in sane now !!!

Yea i have heard that you can get a thing called water glass the same ?

Disconected the near side front sensor which has made abs turn off and drove round in it and its the same, seems to be as its changing gear so im suspecting the gearbox rebuild is at fault, could it be even though its not showing any warning messages ?

Thanks so much mate, today i am gonna just pull the near side abs sensor back a little to make a larger gap so the abs traction shuts down and see if that cures the stutter.
Oxford is not to far away from me and is doabble mind what goes wrong on the way there lol
She is a lot quicker now the trims have been reset and running on petrol i just scared of watching the fuel gauge on petrol going home tomorrow night ! Mind i did have her upto 26 mpg yesterday ( gauge watching on petrol ?)

Hi guys can i just comment on the original topic of use of k seal.
I am involved in cars and customers cars and at times people come to me with a overheating issue or the kind water leaks etc that are untracable on some of the newer designs however the cars value may have dropped so low that it is no longer ecconomical to repair and i have used k seal with decent results to about 45 percent success its ok but still gritty which puts me off so now i use steel seal which is clear and only activated when it finds the leak.
I had a daewoo with a seriously heavy head gasket leak the water was actually dripping from the exhaust ! I poured a bottle in and after 30 minutes idle it cleared up with me amazed! Well thats not he best that was 3 years ago and 30,000 miles back so it worked.
I dont normally like these kind of things but wow it works steel seal over k seal any day for me ( please dont shoot me like the other day on a saab site i suggested an oil and were shot then !)
O and the car runs fine and you would never know....scary

I live in Portsmouth but couldnt find anywhere near me.
I understand what you mean now and when shes on gas she does smell out the exhaust of gas has done the last year....do you think shes safe to run on gas ? I know now that the two problems are not connected at least just thriws the long term trims out on 1 bank.
How far do you have to drive before the long term trim resets ? I know they have a long and short term trim.

Im in clacton until saturday evening then driving home around 8pm mate.

Or hpw about i try to turn abs off ? Is there a way other than take a sensor out ?

Thanls for your reply mate.
She seems to lerch a bit and wanders some what when changing.
The stag cable could just be it do you know anyone near me that could help ?

Just took a slow drive in low range and the fault seems more pronounced then, between changing up it seems to hesotate as if not sure then changes and goes....transfer box problem ?

Hi all, i am now suffering 2 more issues.
I have come away to clacton for a few days and whilst cruising on th A12 she started a random judder like she was about to cut out or change gear and a slight clonk seemed to sound, today this seems to be worse and happens every now and then whilst sitting at approx 40 mph and seems worse in lock up however holding her in position 3 seems to make no difference, gearbox rebuilt march done about 1500 miles since and smooth changing....no warnings messages on dash brand new battery and fuse box charge over 14 volts....if only it were that easy.
Slight whine fdom front diff at 25 MPH worse on de acceleration.
Sometimes when accelerated away from the lights hard clonks and the same on hard breaking.
Had an intermittent abs traction failure since i bought the car after it rains ! Could this beconnected ?
Dont know what to think gearbox or front diff ?

Now the LPG
Whilst i am up her i decided to have the LPG system serviced and went to sudbury today to have it done, i have been having a kind of missfire symptom the last while and as soon as the guy heard her he picked up on it, he read the fuel trims and one side was at minus 25 percent (rich) and so he reset the trims and switched her to petrol where she reset and settled down nicely but as soon as gas were switched on went back to 25 percent indicating a fault with the gas system so he tried for 4 hours to read the system but kept saying no LPG controller so points to a ecu fault (stag 300-8) he was speaking to the guy from lpg shop who tried remotely to connect but no success at all, he did say that the system i have may require a different lead as the one in use could sometimes be at fault when reading.
Help !
It seems when i fix a fault 2 more manifest themselves and i am seriously getting to my wits end with the car now as i have spent a fortune on it and its getting worse.
4.6 thor 2000 147000 miles as said recon box new fuse box and battery new coil packs plugs and leads, new throttle position sensor as well.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Count me in for head lining let me know details
Shell tot hill although i should be able to make it on full tank

Hi guys, I would be interested in this.
Again another one looking at getting my headlining done ! bugs the hell out of me, also the like a miss in top gear lock up from the engine.
Where abouts is it going to be held ? The hardest part for me is logging the LPG stations on route !

Plugs changed smoother tickover but think ICV needs a clean however still a miss feeling when locked up ?
She started well this morning though so looks like fuse box worked.

Well she started ! amazing lol
Been sat there for 8 hours and jumped to life so wait until the morning and see, no burning smell from the old fuse box though which I would have been more pleased about, since May last year, 4 bags, pump, vale block, leads,coil packs, £350 MOT ( I am trade ) recon gearbox, fuse box.......nearly a new car lol.

There is also a smaller version it seems of the BPR-6ES - BCPR-6ES, as I found when I install BPR's on my new engine, and realised the old ones I pulled from the old heads on the engine coming out were smaller socket...

I was sure I had bought BPR-6ES plugs, and upon looking at them, saw they were BCPR6ES.

Looking at the NGK sheet for their product numbers, the only difference between the 2 is the hex size. 20.8mm for the 'B' and 16.0mm for the 'BC' version. Thread size is still the same.

Yes....point there ! had the same issue with my 4.0 gems...forgot that !!!! I have them now but I will have em out in 6 months as summer she (hope) is getting used a lot, just had a dramatic electric drain and were advised fuse box so this morning fitted it and fully charged battery just about to go out try it again ! she was draining within the day after a long run, good battery and full charge.
Bought new one from island £126.
