    E4od Manual Shift 4-3 3-4?

    hi guys, I do fully understand what you said, but what I mean is, tomount an extra switch which gives a manual downshift 4-3. 'cause it is an electrical operated trans, I do believe that it is one single powerline to that solenoid who does that...best regards Ton

    Changes the place of airfilter; rough idle dissapeared

    Goodmorning Flareside... Ehhh yes and no... The "no"is, that the engine has to warm up on gas...so, a few miles has to be made on 'expensive fuel" then, the system automatically switches over to LPG. The LPG/LPI computer "copies" the info the EEC IV gets from driving on gas...and...

    Changes the place of airfilter; rough idle dissapeared

    Hi guys As long as my truck was equipped with LPG injection , Idle was rough and the engine stalled... After common sense thinking I saw the light! The Airtek filter ( like a K&N filter) Was positioned amidst the enginebay, straight above the cooling fan.. when coming to a stop at a...

    E4od Manual Shift 4-3 3-4?

    Hi Y'all. I was thinking about the fact, that sometimes it's better to rev up the engine a bit more... I do have an E4OD.. Is it possible to change something ,that I can shift from 4-3 3-4 by using an electric switch, or is there a shift kid for sale?Best regards Ton

    Goodmorning Greystreak. They are expensive here as well... They (Gov) do have a mouth full about environment and that LPG is the cleanest... BUT... If everybody uses LPG. Gasoline shall be piled up skyhigh in storagetanks in Rotterdam.. LPG is a leftover from the refiningprocess.. Many years...

    Okay guys; food for thought

    Goodmorning Andy:) This is a very reliable system; when warm, the engine starts immediately and my truck does 11MPG; not bad for a 5,8l! this type of engine will not run on a conventional LPGset, the ignitiontiming went bananas with that one! That's because an injection operated engine needs...

    Okay guys; food for thought

    Hi Aussie:) the engine has to start and to warm up to 80deg Fahrenheit coolanttemperature. Then it switches automatically to LPG. Because it is injection, it is impossible to start on LPG directly. the LPG computer changes info with the EEC IV. This one "thinks"that the engine gets gasoline...

    Okay guys; food for thought

    Goodmorning everybody. I was thinking about the position of my airfilter... Original Ford has placed it on the very left side, connected with long hoses... Because I do have an LPG injection, I do have a K&N filter straight at the throttle box... When my engine is at temperature, the ride is...

    Idle with dips... Why???

    Hi everybody:) As long as I own my truck, On LPG, as well on gas, idle is at 750revs, but after a couple of minutes the dips occur... and sometimes the engine stalls.. Everything what has do with "making sparks" in new.. New valves, new Hego and new MAPsensor.. the only thing what's not onboard...
