Hi - First of congratulations on such an amazing site, stumbled across it as a result of a google search, which is now the result of me posting on here.

I have a 1997 Camry, 2.2lt SDV 20 4cly and has done around 201 on the clock (timing belt and water pump have been changed)... Having a slight issue and for the life of me cannot seem to diagnose the issue. When starting my car on fuel (i have fuel/lpg) it runs a bit lumpy, then when i rev it for a few seconds i hear a 'gurgle' sound - I suspect if could be some trapped air - However after the few seconds of revving and the gurgle sound it runs fine.

I read in another thread to check for possibly vaccuum leaks - could this be the culprit?

Any suggestions on what it could possibly be?

I also had my radiator tested and my cooling system for any leaks/cracks etc and everything was fine.

Thanks in advance.

may be an ignition problem, possibly a cold start issue. does it do it when starting after the motor has warmed up?

Nah not that i have noticed it typically seems to be from a cold start - if it is an ignition issue what do you think it may be - coil??Also my car didnt over heat however i noticed the temp gauge rise up rapidly a while ago, check my resevoir and was fairly low on water (similar to the person in this thread - coolant issue engine overheating) could it possibly be exhaust gases trapped?If it is how is it relieved?
