2005 dual fuel HELP!!

Postby carl123 » Fri Mar 03, 2017 4:38 pm

Ok, so bought transit connect 1.8 zetec dual fuel last week, while the van drives fine on petrol, it drives really badly on gas. splutters, very sluggish and hesitant on the throttle.
I've replaced the spark plugs with NGK platinum but still the same.
someone has suggested changing the coil pack and leads?

Can anyone shed any light on this issue please?

It uses coil pack and leads to run on petrol!!!... take it to an LPG specialist, before you blow yourself up...
