so my turbo two has been leakin under the hood somewhere.... im thinkin its the injectors or what not..... it hasnt been reliable for a start-up lately..... i cant get it to start after i turn it off.... got to wait a good hour or two to get it started again.... anyone know what the problem maybe.... there's a weird sound under the hood to like something leaking or what not.... but any opinions or what not on this would help a lot since im trying to fix this problem asap

 

if you smell gas, or have a gas leak do not start or run the car... chances are your Pulsation Dampener has failed or a fuel line has failed and you will be dumping fuel onto your exhaust manifold priming the car to be a nice Car-B-Que.

Fix before starting or running

 

If you tried for too long to start it without success, you probably just flooded it and thats why it starts after a while. But I'd check out the fpd for sure... that is if it is in fact gas your leaking... you should specify a little more next time...

 

take a wiff of ur dip stick..does it smell like gas?......

 

Listen to him or else you're car will catch on fire!

 

You aren't being descriptive enough... I see your post count is "3" so I take it you're new around here... simply saying "weird sounds under the hood, I think something is leaking, etc." isn't going to cut it. You have to describe what's going on in great detail... what, when, where, why... and use all 5 senses : )

Anyways, from what you've described, it sounds like your car is flooded. Meaning: you have poor engine compression, or you may have some bad injectors. What you need to do is search for the following terms to see if you can resolve your problem.

1) flooding, flooded, won't start, etc. ad nauseum
2) fuel pulsation dampener, fpd, fuel leak, etc.


I think you'll find a compression test and cleaning your injectors professionally will help a great bit. Also, if you think your pulsation dampener is leaking, don't drive your car. Replace or have it replaced asap. You should understand why after searching. Welcome to the forum... it's a great source of information when used properly. Good luck.

i think there might be gas leaking into the exhaust, cause i have an exhaust leak and i seen it smokin from where it was leakin.... so yea dont think imma be startin it soon..... its going into the garage for a lil dismantling to look for the problem or problems..... thanks for some tips. and yes i am new to the forums.... took apart my intercooler once and it smelt like gas..... its coming from around the manifold so im lookin to buy a new gasket..... anyone know where i can purchase one

 

my suggestion is find a good mechanic local to you, if you can't tell if something is leaking on the engine or if there is a gas smell in the bay you shouldn't be tearing the car apart.
