Hi,

I am new to this forum and am an avid fan of crown victoria's. I now own two. I just bought my second one yesterday but I am having a problem with it.

The car is a 1995 Crown Vic with a 4.6 litre running on propane only. The problem is that after filling it at the gas station, it would not start. I was stranded for an hour before I could get it to start. I tried holding the accelerator down, I tried pumping, I tried pushing this button under the hood (the guy who sold it to me told me it releases some pressure or something.), but it wouldn't start. FINALLY I managed to get it started about an hour after doing all this. Today I decided to see if it would do it again, so I pumped in $10 of propane, and AGAIN, same problem. This time it only took 10 minutes to get it going.

I had to hold the accelerator down to get it going and it blew quite a bit of blue smoke, like it was flooded. The car runs and drives fine otherwise, it only does this when I pump in some propane. I do have my propane certification so I know it's not the filling procedure, I've been doing this for years.

Does anyone have an idea of what may be going on here?

Thanks for any help.

Okay, seems to be worse than I thought. Every once in a while when I try to start it I have to hold the pedal to the floor. And a couple times it just quit by itself. It seems as if it's not getting enough propane.

I'm thinking that there is a leak somewhere, or maybe a faulty regulator?
