Honda Civic Type R - stopped running on LPG Friday any ideas

#1 Post by Ricey155 »

Just a long shot, im not overly upset it run really nicely for the year its been installed

Friday it decided to stop working not a problem it had gas but probably half a tank so i visited M6 Chorley services and filled it up, still the same bleeps at me when i engage LPG

currently running on petrol id guess something has worked lose maybe ?? i guess it needs the installer to check it over run it through the laptop see what's not right ??

i wondered if there was a reset option or maybe a shut off

any tips its a Romano system

first thing i would do is to check all pipes and connections and also electrical connections
if that doesnt get you anywhere, u will need to identify your system a bit better and one of the experts on here will advise.
but would certainly have a look over things before going to a garage and parting with your pennies! lol

You'd be complaining if the car stopped working when it was only a year old so why should the LPG system be any different? Take it back to the installer and get him to fix it.

Well 2 weeks on a no fix

the guys came out tested it for 40 mins and came to the joint idea the solenoid in the boot was buggered, came back a few days later to replace and nothing

so it seems the rear valve is up the spout luckily ive got a 2 years warranty but still awaiting a repsonse on the replacement item

bad times when your paying full price for fuel (got miles to do this weekend gonna be hard)


anyone else had a valve go after a year ??
