Chrysler Grand Voyager 2000 3.3 Auto - Bad misfire - Jimcoted

Car is on LPG and Petrol. Will suddenly start misfiring on at least two cylinders in both petrol and LPG mode. Codes read P0201 and P0206 injector circuit open cylinder 1 and then the same for cylinder 6. Garage fitted new injectors and while the car was stripped down new plugs, leads and coil pack. Seemed to cure it for a few months but now it has started doing it again to the point where it actually cut out on me yesterday. Then it will suddenly clear and drive perfectly.

Thanks I will pass that over to my Garage to have a look at because it is driving me insane. Got in it about an hour ago, ran like rubbish till it switched to gas then ran perfectly, parked took the dogs onto the common, hour later returned it started on gas and was misfiring all the way home????
