Hi i have a dual fuel astra when i switch to petrol it seems to be missing on 1 but when i switch back to gas it runs nearly perfect with an occasional missfire.

Any help would surely be appreciated

thanks

Jason

Is the engine management light on? You may have a clogged petrol injector - try a can of cleaner first.

Hi thanks i will try some cleaner.

if a petrol injector is blocked or dirty would this still affect when switched to gas.

No; the gas has it's own.
