Two wild guesses: Maybe O2 sensor? Coolant temperature sensor?

Rob x-7 09-15-2003 07:02 PM

still have converters on the car?

If you take them off the car stinks

O2 sensor is brand new.. And the High flow cat is also new.. Don't know bout the coolant temp sensor though..

Rob x-7 09-15-2003 07:14 PM

did you try adjusting the mixture?

75 Repu 09-15-2003 07:14 PM

Nope.. Where at..

Where are you smelling the fuel at? Does it smell inside the car or at the exhaust?

75 Repu 09-15-2003 07:26 PM

at the exhaust.. if it smelled inside I would not drive the fucker.. hahaha

ok.. one more thing now... this may or may not be related to the same thing.. The car when it reaches a certain temp but before being fully warmed up will fluctuate from about 1500 rpm to 2200 rpm.. up down up down up down.. you get the idea.. what the heck could that be..?

TPS out of adjustment. Mine did that with the car at operating temp. I rigged that little light thing and now it idels smooth as silk. Before I adjusted the TPS when the car would get to temp and had the AC on the car would bounce from 500 rpm like going to turn off to 1k havent run it again after adjusting the tps but I hope it works it was way off!
