I have a 4.3 with the EPR system the unit backfires on initial start up and occasionally after that , It sometimes backfires and runs rough for a short time and clears up, Dont say change the Cap, lol Thanks also same actions on a S100FT

well these EPR systems weren't the best invention IMPCO came up with imo.
But that aside i would check the mixer , clean it out, check the diaphragm as well.
check all the vacum hoses, a vacum leak will cause this.
If you have the PSI Display diagnostic program from impco and the correct can box you can connect with a laptop and see whats going on and get a better idea of where to look. They did make several generations of this can box so you will need to know the Tier Level to determine which one to use.
I know when i worked for caterpillar the Tier 3 early models used one version of the canbox and then they changed it and came out with another version using a different canbox, they were NOT cross compatible either. :o/
I had 2 different versions of the software on my laptop for that one unfortunatly :o/
had a home depot account where they had these issues and all they wound up doing was changing their LPG supplier because they were using a low grade LP Gas that was gumming up the system and creating all sorts of issues.
and then again.....
sometimes just an old fashioned tune up cures this ;o)
yes even the distributor cap lol :oD
Backfiring is usually a timing issue, but not always- if distributor wear isn't the issue, check to make sure the timing isn't jumping due to a faulty sensor (I've had this on other lifts, not Yale's per say, but you never know).
Could also be a fuel issue- does the unit always start with a backfire or are the circumstances that create it?
Remove the distr. cap and lift up on the rotor, check for excessive wear. We replaced 4 distributors in the last year due to wear. some of the original distributor are made of composite and they wear.
