Well, I decided to take the 7 out for a cruise. Try and start it up cranks for 5secs dosn't start up, try again starts up like normal. I pull it out of th garage to let it warm up in the drive way, get out of the car and bamm there is like 4 gallons of gas all over the place. I quickly shut off the car and look under it and there is a few thick tricles pouring down. This is bullshit
Need some help..

You need to give more info, as to were it looked like it was coming from front back middle?

Ok, It was comming out right under the engine bay

The easy problem could be the rubber fuel line, if not you probley need to get it towed to mech! You probley dont need to pull upper intake if you are not experenced. Use caution!!

OK, when fuel is not going into the car, that means there is a hole... duh, find dehh hole fix dehhh hole. You know the gas came from the engine bay, there are only 2 gas lines there, Start there. Good luck champ.

That doesn't happen often at all.

hmm, do I need to take off the UIM to see the rubber fuel lines

Busted7

No! drivers side just above spark plugs!!! The way you get a better look is to remove the elbow off the throttle body.

the spark plugs!!!, ... ok

Get a fricking Factory Service Manual if you aren't going to take it to a mechanic. You can download one for free from the sticky thread!

seriously, if you arn't willing to read a service manual, or do a little bit of work just take it to a shop and spend alot of money.

Well I started a previous thread but this one is revised based on research. Well I started my car and it poured fuel all over my garage floor. I started today by removing the UIM, I'm about 80% done with that. I think it is probably a fuel line or a injector o-ring. I snapped a silcone hose and a nipple on a check valve so I'll have to replace it. Wish me luck.

Ok well I got the UIM off but I failed to realise how complicated the rats nest would be. The problem I'm assuming lays within the injecter o-ring or a fuel line or the fuel pressure dampner.

I live in Overland Park, KS so a rotary shop is not so close at all. I'm so sick of working on it I'm thinking that I just want to pay someone to do it.

How hard would it be to remove the rats nest and then trace and diagnose the problem.

Please stop creating multiple threads on the same topic! Merging this one also....

woops sorry

Any who, I do have the factory service manual downloaded and I have read through it a bit. But It would be really hard to do a repair like that with just the service manual. My options are limited so I'll have to take my sweet time and figure it out. sigh...
