Since on the other forum nobody want's to help me, I thought i should try here.



2 Days ago i did a vaccum hose job, took the double throtle off and changed clutch. I didn't drive it yesterday at all, but then today i took it for a drive and after a while, i noticed fuel smell.



At first i didn't think it was coming from my car, then later when i was on the stop light it came again, I ignored it again. Well now when i went to the store i started it again and i smelled fuel. I went outside and i saw that the catback was wet from the fuel.



What can cause this? I thought that because i removed double throtle i would run a little lean. Could there be something wrong with the hoses or something?

Also my car was resting for 2 weeks when i was changing all this stuff, but i did take it hard once when i finished all the job, i only didn't drive it yesterday for a whole day.



What should i look for? Please help.

Thanks

it was wet on the tip of the exhaust, you know where the fumes are coming out. Simply, the tip was wet and i touched it and it was fuel. But after like couple of minutes it was gone.

you sure it was gas ? it could have been condensation. my TII used to stink like gas. i'm 99% sure it was a vacuum leak with a hole in it. i would double check all your hoses. the TB mod should have nothing to do with it unless you knocked off a hose or forgot to plug something in
