When i had that gassy smell it was that and leaky injectors.

other than the smell, what would leaky injectors do to the car? (flooding? though I never experienced my car to flood thus, i wouldnt know how that is niether) =P

How about an engine fire? :eek:

umm...engine fire? whats that...

Check your fuel lines under the UIM!

stick your face right into the engine near the front opening of the UIM. Literally, get right up in their with your nose and sniff. If that seems to be a centerpoint of strong gas smell then it is your injectors or FPD. If the FPD is that bad it may even be causing a puddle which will run down th front of the "block". Get a flashlight and shine it in the area under the water pump housing/radiator filler neck/pulleys/etc. Check to see if you can see a "run" down the front originating from where you stuck your nose in to smell.

^ Failure to do so will results in a free barbacue of your ratsnest/car.

thankx, but what is UIM?

Who is your mechanic?

my mechanic's name is Sam, and?

UIM=Upper Intake Manifold

damn i'd have to take off the UIM to check the hoses huh....

If you don't know what an engine fire or a UIM is, why don't you have Sam do it? I'll assume he's not as clueless as you.

because you need to bring it to Sam asap.

You might have those injectors cleaned and patterned. Anyone know how much a new FPD costs?

I dont remember paying much for a new one.. but then again im Desensitized by how much other parts cost.

my car doesnt smell anymore....i guess the exhaust smoke was comming in through my winow due to the wind blowing.

yea, because your exhuast vents infront of the car..
