My wife and I drove up to the Monterey Bay, California for the month of July, and on our way up, got a "service engine soon" light on my 99 Ford F-250
bifuel. It idles really roughly in CNG mode, and seems to be okay in
gasoline mode.
That's what some regular mechanic charged me $150 to tell me, after we
debated for a while whether CNG and propane were the same thing.
::sigh:: He got a code P1640 from the error causing the light, and
recommends taking it to a CNG mechanic.
However, while I know several in Arizona, I don't know any in
California. We should get it taken care of in the next week or two,
before we drive it back. I've left messages with some conversion
shops, including Baytech (based in Los Altos, very close by), none of
whom return my calls.
THE POINT:
Any way to find qualified CNG mechanics in South
Bay/Peninsula/Monterey Bay areas... who will do the work?
Thanks,
Ryan
