steve prosser:
Thanks for that
mine is the flapper type air flow meter
seemed to be getting voltage to the injector connectors,
how did u get it to start on gas without starting first on petrol?
sound worth a try!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grunter:
Had a problem with my gas converted 3.5efi, turned out to be one of the   hoses that runs from the rear of the plenum chamber to the front mostly hidden away, its approx 3/4" diameter, it had come away slightly allowing air into system preventing a vacuum building and opening the flapper,, wouldnt start at all,, it may have been disturbed while looking / changing other stuff..

hope this is of use..

steve prosser:
Thanks for that 1 Grunter
will check when i get home later

thanks again

Range Rover Blues:
If your gas system is like mine then you have a shut-off valve that's opened electrically.  The control unit ensures that the engine starts on petrol and switches to gas once it's running, usually you need to blip the throttle.  What you can do is use a length of wire to jump from the battery tot he solenoid/shutoff valve at which point you should hear the solenoid click.  Assuming the solenoids are wired together at all the cutoff points (tank and engine bay) you should hear the gas escaping.  Give it a couple of seconds then remove the wire and try to start the engine.  If it coughs at all then try again but leave the jump wire in place untill it's running.
