on the photo are the LPG parts I removed (in fact not correct, instead of the relay seen here separately, which I also removed but it had nothing to do with LPG, there was one relay-looking electronically operated vacuum controller which was connected with the big black thing seen on the photo and the vacuum operated valve in the middle of the main LPG hose between evaporator and intake manifold, but that one is not on this photo)
I drive the car now with the Idle Control Valve (ICV) disconnected; when I connect it, it lowers the rpm on both petrol and LPG sometimes below providing healthy oil pressure, although the oil lamp does not lit at those moments, and I think rpms are between 100 and 200, it looks strange how it can run at all, but it mostly runs that slow and will never shut off. Without the ICV my rpms on LPG are perfect now, and on petrol it is working less nice, but not requiring any work any more...
I also plan to give it a try with replacement of the air-mass sensor, but have to find all few that I collected, as I moved my parts few times and it all got disorganised due to lack of time...
so I have 2 switches on the dashboard now: I connected the main + directly from the ignition coil, with a fuse, to prevent forgetting to unswitch it. In this way I know when the electromagnetic valves work (using the switch makes distinct sound, and operation of both valves is audible inside the car, when the engine is off, and the third one is also audible from the back...). When the car is driven normally, and engine started warm, I do not need to unswitch and switch back this other switch (I believe at the moment of starting the 3rd valve is off in the back, which protects it good enough from both fuels reaching the intake manifold simultaneously, so it just starts and runs and drives fine. The APK guy told me this makes no problem to pass the APK. Next thing I plan to do is to save the petrol pump from constant running when the car is driven on LPG. I killed one petrol pump last year when I was not paying attention that in fact I ran out of petrol, and was driving on LPG, and the poor pump overheated and died...shame to mention
