Re: 2006 saab 9-3 factory dual fuel

Hi all

have done a few more miles on petrol today with the injector cleaner in and I think she's now soerted.

She's running really well on petrol and ok on gas with now mil light etc.

She's 95% ok on gas so I will change the filters and give here a check over once the new filters arrive.

Cheers ...

Re: 2006 saab 9-3 factory dual fuel

hi all

the problem persists even with the injector un-plugged so its definitely leaking. The car changes to gas within 60 seconds even on a cold
start so the petrol injectors see very little use.

I added some injector cleaner to the tank and did 40 miles on petrol yesterday so will see if its any ...

Re: 2006 saab 9-3 factory dual fuel

hi all

have done a bit more in this

I read the fault codes which showed misfire no2 cylinder which confirms what I saw on the plugs.

Popped it all back together and got it running on gas. I then clamped the petrol feed to the injector rail so that it could not get petrol and she immediately ...

Re: 2006 saab 9-3 factory dual fuel

hi all

I have started doing some work on the saab this morning

First thing I found was the oil filler cap o ring has failed so there's effectively a vacuum leak so I will replace it.

I have pulled the plugs and numbers 1,3,4 are all perfect but number 2 is sooty. I don't think lpg leaves sooty ...

Hi all

I have a 2006 Saab 9-3 with factory fitted dualfuel.

She is currently running rough when on gas. On petrol she is perfect.

When on gas she has a slightly rough tick over and is down a little on power when driving. Although she has a full service history from new, i'm not sure that the gas ...

re-drilled the nozzles to 3mm this morning and ran auto-cal again
and the conversion has gone to .34!

I think the nozzles need to be smaller.

When I use the nozzle size calculator in the esgi software I set the type to valtek 3ohm
