I just recently converted to gas and have had a couple of minor problems.
Sometimes my car stalls and idles really low until it dies, but sometimes it runs fine. They said that my oxy sensor is shot and I need a new one. How much of a difference would replacing it make? I took it back to the LPG installer and he said to get a new one which I will be doing, he increased the flow of gas to stop it from stalling but also this makes it run very sluggish. Would replacing the oxy sensor fix this?
It runs perfectly fine when I switch to Petrol.
Also, since I've had LPG I seem to be use quite a lot of coolant. I filled it up yesterday because it was very low, checked it today and its half full.

How old is your convertor and when was it last serviced/had a kit put through it.
Re: the coolant - double check for any leaks ect. If you suspect your VL is using coolant and may be a headgasket issue ask your mech to do a TK test
Re : your O2 sensor ; does your LPG setup have a computer with what looks like an IAC/stepper motor in the supply line (with a 4 pin plug on it) - sometimes if these play up this can also cause issues.
My 2c mate, good luck there aye.

It's only just been put in this week. But when installing the new oxy sensor it looked like they may have wired it wrong. I've checked the headgasket and it fine. I fill up my coolant and it goes down to about the half level and stays there and doesn't go below it.
I'm taking my car back to the gas installer, he said he didnt modify the computer for the gas because of the oxy sensor because it was giving them a bad reading.
Just wondering if this is a common problem or should the oxy sensor fix it?
