Hello again,
Got an issue with the 80 - loss of power when cold.
Truck is very very flat when cold, almost no power (struggling to climb a medium gradient), however if I lock the box down and get the revs up above 3500 it all comes back with a thump and we're off! Once it's really full warmed up (after 15-20 mins of driving) everything seems pretty normal. Things are a little better in "power" mode but the fault's still there until fully warmed up. Truck is LPG converted but the fault is the same or Petrol or Gas so I'm thinking a base engine management fault rather than an LPG problem.
There's no "check engine" light (yes it is working!) but I've read elsewhere that a sensor issue can put the engine into safe mode (rich / retarded spark) without triggering a fault light.
I don't have the ability right now to investigate codes (see my other post) so has anyone experienced and fixed the same and can point me to where to start?
Thanks!
