Can anybody help me , Ihave a 1997 stock 4.0ltr xlt sohc
Cold starting is getting to be a pain
I have a lpg convertion,It will only start (from cold) on Lpg
When starting on petrol the engine fires up fine goes to about 1300rpm & then dies
Ican keep it going by giving it a bit more throttle but its hard work once i have put it into drive
I have metered the maf,air temp & air temp sensors & all are good
If the aircon is on it runs better,but it still doesnt want to tick over
All these problems go away in 4 mins once it has warmed up
vehicle has done 71,000 miles and has full service history,but ford service centres over here are like my arse ,please help
