Any closer mate?
Do you have the little control box on the firewall or near the converter (just looking at my setup) which controls your gas?
Could be this needs a retune, also could be relays that cut the injectors could be faulty.

Just to eliminate it wont be the maf as the car should still run perfect on lpg as lpg doesn't use the maf. It would only run terrible on petrol. I recently replaced my maf and this was the symptoms.

Was just gonna say that... Coil packs worth testing for sure, my old Falcon had similar symptoms and it was the coil pack.

Was a great outcome! I offered his choice of liquid supplements but he wouldn't accept (gracious bloke that one). Might end up with a gift on his doorstep though.

Good to hear it wasn't a major issue.
Must be almost jumping for joy now and itching to take it for a good long run?

Yeah mate. Will have to get a Gas mob to give the system a looksie so I don't get any more backfiring issues but in the meantime will be giving her a good flogging on petrol. LPG isn't worth it with its' price at the moment anyway. Just have to sort out some long overdue work on the donk (replacing rocker covers, adjusting tappets and give her a proper service) and hopefully be able to scrounge up some dollars for a lift. The stock shock are showing their age and are sagged but the truck still does the easy, moderate stuff with relative ease.
