Completely baffled and hope someone can shed some light on a very
frustrating issue.

I have a 2001 2.0L Honda Accord and had it professionally converted to
a Romano lpg system 12 months ago at 45000 miles (now on 65000 miles).
Pretty much from the start of the conversion the engine management
light came on, but it only comes on when driving on lpg. Have taken it
back to the LPG guy many times and he keeps re-tuning (making it
richer/leaner) to try and solve the problem, still no luck. Recently
he added a strange box to the lpg electrics which worked intially,
with this new box the management light would come on flashing and then
go off, this happened for a couple of weeks. Now though the light
comes on and stays on with the occasional flashing then the light
flicks back to staying permanently on.

Thought about changing the front lamda sensor but they are £250.00 and
didn't want to pay this if it didn't solve the problem.

I can't find any other similar situation on the net and wondered if
anyone else was familiar with this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Alien

Generally speaking CEL will come on if you're fitted with single point
LPG system. Usually it's nothing to worry about. Your 'new lpg box' is
probably just a CEL reset thing that cycles power to ECM, and it
possibly has malfunctioned

250 quid for regular O2 sensor sounds like 10x too much. You can usually
find them much cheaper on ebay


If your car runs fine on LPG then I'd say just forget that silly yellow
light on dashboard... you'll get used to it ;)
