Perhaps the engine thermostat is bad. Do know how to check for one that is not closing. I seem to be posting how to do that 2 or 3 times per month :)
Please note that the only thing that controls the temperature is the engine thermostat. So if the stats right, the temperature is right. Everything else is indicators only.
How are the plugs? If in doubt, try new. It does sound like an ignition problem in some respects. After missing, things can be fouled. And a cold engine creates fouling too.
So when on LPG, is any gasoline used at all? If not, I don't see the connection with the injectors. When on gasoline, everything runs great?
Was there any suggestion to run a different plug gap with this conversion?
