search but since that button must be broked on your computer you should check your pd (pulsation dampener) on your fuel rail. They have a tendency to leak and cause engine fires so I would not run it until you find out exactly where it is comming from.

Take a shower or clean your car inside...

Windows open? Gasoline or Exhaust? I know you said "Gas"....
Windows close - Smell any?

no it defintely is coming from inside, near the stick alittle

Also, this Rx7 does not have turbo. I wanted to install a turbo but was wondering if i could do it without adding parts ( since im on a budget ) or do i have to buy a new engine.

I smelt gas in my car when I tried to mount my amp to the trunk, I drilled a little too far.
I fixed it by covering the hole with some gew.

Buying a new TII engine might cost you a little less.
I know I want to drop a TII engine, will cost about 2050$ installed and me able to drive it out.
