have a 84 GSL-SE (stock for now)...........I have bad smelly fumes coming out, what's causing it?

 

Stop farting in the car

 

is the smell inside or outside the car? what does it smell like? Fuel? rotten eggs?

 

it's from the outside of the car......it kinda burns your eyes and smell's like gas or exhaust fumes!

 

Running rich.



Get a manual and look up mixture adjustment.

 

it could be the tps too, it kinda runs the somg system. or hell it could be the smog system too

Sounds like my car.My eyes water when my car sits at a idle. Sounds like it's too rich.At least you can adjust your mixture.My 84 SE engine is carbed and can't be leaned out.Damn big-*** 2 barrel with no cats or emissions left. :smirk:

 

but I just pass smog!.....would'nt have it detected if it was running rich?



Could it be an exhaust leak?....my car sounds like a lawn mower at idle, but sounds good when in gear.

 

It still might be running rich but not terribly rich that you would fail a smog test.Yeah I would check for exhaust leaks tho.Do you have all your cats in it still?

 

yeah but, looks like there was one new one put in.
