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?

I took it all apart and found a little dirt in the assistance injector.. maybe was stuck open? both of the large solenoids I can here them open and close maybe leaking past. going to reassemble and see what happens.

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.
