Title: Petrol Injectors? and LPG advice
Post by 10mpg on Nov 16^th, 2009, 9:41pm

Are the injectors on a 2.3 scorp made by Bosch or some other company?

I am looking at converting my scorp to lpg as i cant bear driving my dull stopgap TD Mondeo any longer! I know about lpg kits to a reasonable extent and will be doing the conversion myself, I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or tips that could help with the process esp anything that is unique to converting these vehicles..

it is an estate with self levellers so the tank weight shouldn't be an issue..

cheers guys..

hi there

why do you need to know who makes the car's injectors?

all lpg kits use their own.

this (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/lpg2_3.htm) was my old car, which highlander now has.

So i can get the right fittings for the injector emulators, as i was pricing up a kit when i posed the question, and i prefer the plug and play emulator fittings over the solder on type..

BOSCH fittings, but from memory you will find at least one injector wired backwards, go for the solder in looms, and when installing them make sure which wire in the injector is the earth side & thats the one to cut.

Ah thanks for that, is it always the same injector wired backwards? is there any reason for this?

Thanks again this is exactly the kind of info that is invaluable in these circumstances..

usually No1 (front cylinder), soldering in the wiring makes a better job and is whats recomended, allways pays to test each indevidual plug.
