Gasoline Stoichiometric air-to-fuel ratio = 14.7 : 1

Propane (LPG) Stoichiometric air-to-fuel ratio = 15.67 : 1

ECU is tuned for Gasoline, so you are running verrrrry rich, and the ECU cannot compensate.

Assuming the LPG isn't killing the sensors (and the cats, or the injectors, or the pump), you need the car to be retuned for the fuel you are using.

Also, your spark plugs are probably pretty badly fouled... good luck.
