I have a BF Falcon MKII lpg factory inline six.
At the moment I have noticed under heavy acceleration it will rev normal but does not have any power. It will accelerate normal whilst driving casually only suffers at top end power. When I slow down doing less than twenty kph the car will shake only after slowing down after heavy acceleration.

Hello,

A couple things come to mind, first is the spark plugs are starting to wear causing the problem.

Here is a guide to help you with that:

Next would be to read the trouble codes from the computer.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
