i have a prob with my lpg...
its a 5.0L and sometimes it backfires and blows a vacume hose out from behind the manifold causing it to run very rough (like its got a cam)the other end of the vacume goes into the passenger side front guard so i cant c where the problem is comming from. it recently backfired and the hose blew off but i reconnected it and it is still running rough, im stumped on wat it could be, its only running rough on idle when you put your foot on the pedal it seems to be ok. for a while the gas completly stopted working while i was driving it just splutterd and then cut out, so ran it on fuel for a while then ran gas about a week ago its now working but its still rough on idle. can any one help me im gettin sick of it and i want the problem gone... |

If it is backfiring, I'd be looking at the spark; Plugs, leads and if still a problem, then coilpack.

all of the above, and, depending on what converter it has on it, if it's an omvl, make sure the bung hasn't been blown off the unused port on the converter. have seen this happen before, and same problem...
