Hi all,
My Vt runs perfectly on gas but when I go to start it
On petrol or even switch over to petrol it runs for 2 seconds
Then dies. This happens weather I'm driving at the time or not please someone help me
Figure out what's wrong and how to fix it |

Because there's a myriad of different gas systems out there, and even more installers, all of whom do things differently, it's not an easy thing to diagnose.
Start with the basics.
You obviously have spark, so that rules out ignition - leaving fuel the culprit.
Switch it to fuel, try to start it. Listen for the fuel pump priming & running. Feel the injectors to see if they are clicking.
Inspect the installation - work out where they have intercepted the loom to cut power to the injectors.
If all that sounds too hard, then you're best off taking it to a reputable mechanic (or gas guy) to look at. |
Cheers,
Mick
