Toyota Camry 2006: Hesitation on start-up after LPG conversion

Asked by Bob

Everything was perfect for about 11 months after I installed gas on my 2006 Toyota Camry four-cylinder 14 months ago, but it then developed a bad hesitation on the first start-up of the day. This is the only symptom. It runs perfectly in every other way and for every other start-up of the day. Do you have any suggestions?

The LPG experts at Impco told us that there could be a number of causes of your problem. It could be the result of miss-matched technology that if poorly integrated may cause the petrol system to learn incorrect values while operating on LPG, leading to hesitation on ULP start up. It could also be insufficient valve clearances, which may also cause the car to run poorly during the warm up phase. Another possibility is that it's an electrical misfire, either a fault with the secondary ignition system or an intermittent wiring harness issue.
