Discussion:
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
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
