cat gp45k crank wont start

Hey ive got a cat gp45k crank wont start. seems like its getting to much propane if I hold the regulator hose open and let some air in it will kindof run. i tried replacing the regulator $500 later did no good. I also dont have any lights on the dash I dont think this has a digital dash but figure I should have something. I checked all the fuses no cigar. I dont have a scan tool to communicate with it either. Can I do the pedal dance to pull the codes? its the nissan tb45.

Still does not run after reassembly. I did notice that if I hold the secondary injector out of the unit the little one and go to crank it the solenoid does not open at all. A multimeter shows very little voltage coming from the plug. What should it look like?

sounds to me like you have a bad lpg injector, that throttle body should have 2 of them mounted side by side. One is a main injector (2 large solenoids) and the other is an assistance injector (smaller solenoid mounted on the side of the injector body.
As far as reading codes? they only way i know of is to use a handset or laptop with the cat program and the correct cable.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
