gas smell
I have a gas smell coming from the car. You can smell it on the inside and outside. I was advised to change the airfilter and that didn't help. Any suggestions?

air filter??? lol anyway is there any gas leaking from under the hood? Might be pulsation damper which can cause fire if gas leaks and sparks...dont wanna scare you tho it might be an exhaust leak or your running excessivley rich.

True dat.
I'd check the pulsation dampener, then follow the fuel lines from the tank to the motor (and then back again - there is a return line.)
You may have a cracked/leaking fuel line or fuel hose. I've had two leaks appear on my own 7 so far, one under the rear seats (where the lines curve up along the underbody) and one at a hose connection under the intake manifold (put two clamps on the connection, plus some RTV - not only will it never leak again, it'll never come off again, either.
)
