Fuel smell at heavy throttle
1993 mazda rx7 FD3S JDM
Stock twins, a few mods but none on the fuel system
Lately when i apply heavy throttle there is a strong smell of fuel that seems to be comming from the engine bay. I have new spark plugs, and the fuel filter is located by the rear differential. Im not sure where to look?
Is this a common problem?
Im thinking maybe a fouled injector?
Thanks for the help.

Check for any fuel leaks under the UIM and also check the PCV:

I just read through your thread, that sounds exactly like my problem. I wrote down the part number you posted. Is it just called a check valve?
Speed of light
That could definatly be a posibilty because i do have a boost leak right now that I couldnt find when i ripped apart the upper intake. Sounds like thats going to take a bit more work, Ill replace this check valve and keep my fingers crossed.
