Fixes:
- Replace worn or faulty LPG injectors and clean or service the vaporizer and pressure regulator as needed
- Change spark plugs to those recommended for LPG use and replace ignition coils if misfires persist
- Repair any detected vacuum or intake leaks to restore correct air-fuel mixture
- Reset fault codes after repairs and perform a test drive to confirm resolution of symptoms
- Regularly service the LPG system according to manufacturer guidelines to maintain optimal performance

Prevention:
- Use high-quality LPG fuel to minimize deposits and wear on engine components
- Adhere to scheduled maintenance intervals for both the petrol and LPG systems
- Regularly inspect and replace spark plugs with LPG-compatible types to prevent ignition issues
- Monitor LPG system pressures and components for early signs of wear or leaks
- Avoid prolonged idling and ensure the engine reaches operating temperature to reduce carbon buildup
