Default Runs high rpms and wont stop

So since a while now my ram is actin up real bad at first it wouldn't start just realy loud backfires and de plenum cascet was leaking the backfires seemt like a electrical problem causing it to shut of the sparks so kinde fixted that (stil no cleu what it was exactly) but after some re wiring and changing some stuff it stoped doing that for over 2 weeks.but it has a new problem now i gues its from the intake cascet some vacum leak of some sort.
so what it does starts and runs great until i get to 60km after that engine starts runnig wierd en wont really stop just keeps running high rpms so i turned around home put it in park rpms go up to 2300 stays there a few seconds and drops to about 750-800 and runs perfect again so went back on the road to test it same thing happend again.
So anybody any cleu what can cause this?
( It tuns on lpg injected straight in the airfilter doesnt run on gasoline)

LPG needs to be injected directly into the venturi not where you have it. And it usually runs in small metal lines similar to gasoline. I don't know what kind of set up you have! Where is the vaporizer?

Are you getting any codes? That sounds a lot like an intermittent sensor failure.

I'm assuming this is a gas engine from the factory? Stock pcm? Vaporizers do go bad and when they do they usually will dump more propane than needed. Looks like a backyard installation so no telling whats going on there.
