Hi all,just been driving down from Bicester and the engine management light flashed and came on.whenever I put my foot down I had little or no response from the car.at low speed seems ok.i had tied to do kick down to overtake and nothing happened.im running a 4.4 v8 2003 l322 on LPG.this is probably a bit vague in description just wondering if anyone had ideas.also I'm in Southampton does anyone know a good garage I could pop into to have the engine read by the gizmo they use to diagnose issues.kindest regards in advance to anyone who replies. Tony |

Sounds like the car went into limp mode.

Can you run the car without LPG ? And see if it clears, I'm not sure if you can do that as I've never had LPG |

Did the light come back on with ignition and stay on or did come back on when you started to drive again. 2020 Porsche Panamera Turbo Hybrid (V FAST)

The lpg has prob killed one or both cats and maybe an O2 sensor, if its killed the rear sensors not too much of a problem if its the fronts it will be, you need to plug a decent diagnostic machine on and monitor the O2 sensors, mine has no cats and the rear O2 sensors play up, we have sonme kit that can remove the rear sensors from the ecu, will get on it after xmas and report back. One day your life will flash before your eyes......................................make sure yours is worth watching!

Does LPG kill cat converters then? When I start mine when it is cold there is a rattling noise, someone said it sounded like a cat converter. It does not do it as bad when warmed up, can I do away with them, or is it best to replace them? Gone:

LPG killing cats is a new one on me I would hope it doesn't as they are expensive to replace. [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]

That's what I thought. Hadn't seen anything about that when I was researching LPG before I took the plunge. [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]
