P38 black smoke and misfire

Hi all hope you can help me out with this it's my first Range Rover and I love it it's just a bit disappointing at the moment but I will persevere.

INFO :

P38 4.6 1997 190k on the clock, it has LPG but I have no idea if it works correctly (multi point).

I have no history on the vehicle

FAULT:

Thick black smoke on acceleration

Slight misfire ( more prominent on deceleration)pops and bangs not to loud.

After accelerating the revs drop right down 200/300 rpm sometimes stalls.

New fuel

Plugs look new

Only one warning on dash ( fuel gauge ) I will sort out once running right.

I dare say it's been talked about before I'm just hoping to piggyback on some of the knowledge and experience that is out there.

I'd say it sounds like it's running rich. What LPG system is it?

You can always start by checking the MAF, contrary to what's in every manual they will actually run with the MAF unplugged, so you can give that a go to see if the problem gets better.
