when i park my car in the garage and let it sit it really smells like i have a fuel leak.. also when im under the hood you can hear what sounds to be like a bubbling sound or air leak sound. however there is no traces of gas on the floor.. any info would be very helpful and appreciated... thanks, joshua p.s.

check your fuel pulsation damper on your primary fuel rail.. those are prone to leaking..

gas evaporates right

twinturborx7pete 03-27-2003 09:34 PM

yeah.. but if it was a big leak, it could puddle...

FikseRxSeven 03-27-2003 09:37 PM

Have you checked it out when your car is running? Mine was leaking under the intake elbow.

I was afraid that it would drip on the plugs and plug wires- recipe for disaster.

I had the same problem. Turned out it was a leaky fuel injector o-ring. Fun job to fix!

DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR. Find the problem. Fix it. This shouldn't even be a question.

The bubbling sound is your coolant boiling. While it's normal for FD's, it means your **** is running very hot. FD's tend to get hotter on shutdown. All the goddamn heat from the precat rises right up in the engine bay. Get a Downpipe. Check your main cat. Pop your hood on shutdown (While argued on it's function, it can't hurt) DO THE FAN MOD. Also argued... But trust me. IT WORKS.
