bignev Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hi there,I've had hesitant starting at times, and I'm on LPG too, so I tried this - turn the key 3 or 4 times and hear the fuel pump prime then stop, to build up fuel pressure. Then for a few journeys run it on petrol to give the injectors some excercise. OR when it's time to switch off turn back to petrol BEFORE turning off so it stops on petrol, and if it stutters when you do that it confirms the theory: Because when you ran it last time it was on gas, and if the pressure in the fuel rail is seeping back then it hasn't got enough squirt to fire it when you crank.
