VS engine issues - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

Unorthodox-racing · 10-10-2008, 06:44 PM

just brouht a vs with lpg with an intimitan miss, I havnt had time to figure out which cyl it is yet but I will tomorrow, but anyways what it does also is when I put it in gear and try to bring the revs up I can hear it startin to backfire into the intake, would it do this if its a lazy plug or lead? I thorught it maybe a vac leak around an injector perhaps?
I cant drive it because when I put a little bit of throttle into it it backfires and stalls, it also seems to have an over heating problem could this be connected?
