Larry,  I have the same problem sometime with mine after running on LPG and
swapping back to petrol.   I think it's the fuel pump not spinning up enough
to supply sufficient fuel.  After a while mine comes good.  Sometimes, I
have to swithc back to LPG then back to petrol and that seems to clear the
problem.

Someone on the list knows the GM part no. for a matching EFI fuel pump to
suit the Range Rover.
