I would check the obvious things first i.e air filter & spark plugs. LPG does need to have a good spark so it may be worth check the spark plug leads as well. Another thing to try is to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes this resets the on board computer. Have you got a the standard paper air filter because performance air filters can cause problems with Lpg

Hope this helps
