Poor startin from cold

4 cylinder LPG truck takes lots of cranking to start on a morning, it coughs and runs lumpy but as soon as you touch the accelerator it stalls.

Once its finally got going and warmed up it runs like a swiss watch all day.

Truck had a gas vaporiser 6 months ago due to it leaking and has run fine up to recently.

Its just had a service and new plugs but the fault is still there.

No error codes in the log, could there be a temp sensor faulty thats causing lean mixture when cold or injector fault?

Thanks Andrew

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
