    Problem after Problem,how come?

    Guys,sigh...... I don't know why the problems seem to occur one by one on my car.
    tonight,one of my friends came by and wanted to take a look at my new intake and listen to its sound. I keep the car in park and rev the engine a while to make some whistle for him.
    But,just after that,my friend was like"o,what's that smell?""Yeah,I noticed as well"....... I was like ,the smell from the exhaust is really strong and made us feel bad. I have checked the web and found this:
    "SYMPTOM: THERE IS A STRONG GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE EXHAUST

    Description of problem: Whenever you run the engine and are not moving, you notice the smell of gas from the exhaust. The smell can be strong enough to make you think you have a gas leak. Not only do you notice the smell, so does everyone around your car. You may also notice that your gas mileage has been worse lately. "
    then I could have one of the following:

    1. There is a problem with your electronic engine control system.

    2. You have an ignition problem.

    3. Your fuel injectors are clogged or dirty.

    4. There is an engine mechanical problem.

    5. You have a vacuum leak.

    6. If you have a carburetor, the choke may be stuck closed.


    yes,my gas milage is poor recently that's really an issue for me.To you guys,what is most likely to be the problem? I used Chevron Concentrate Fuel system cleaner like 1000 kms ago.Don't know why............any input is to be appreciated

            yeah,let's analyze it.
            1.means the ECU or what? This part I don't know how to check,I reset the ecu yesterday,that's the best I can do.

            2.Ignition problem,I changed the spark plugs yesterday and the mechanic said wires and timing are all ok......

            3.I used Chevron Concentrate Fuel System Cleaner 1000Km ago,I may give it another shot tomorrow and see what will happen.

            4.This part............. really can't tell,mechanical problem,varieties........could be anything,need ideas on this one.

            5.Vacuum leak? I am not so sure about this cauz I don't know this word.What's a vacuum leak?? I will do a search after this.

            6.We don't use Carbs,so..........

            Likely to be..............?

            Hard to say

                  -same here..



                  2.Ignition problem,I changed the spark plugs yesterday and the mechanic said wires and timing are all ok......

                  -have u checked the ignition coil and distributor?



                  3.I used Chevron Concentrate Fuel System Cleaner 1000Km ago,I may give it another shot tomorrow and see what will happen.

                  -i think this sort of a remedy would be more effective if you use the fuel system cleaner with 3 or more consecutive times.. i did mine for 5.. the engine idled much better(finner) afterwards..



                  4.This part............. really can't tell,mechanical problem,varieties........could be anything,need ideas on this one.

                  -check out for some unusual sounds..?



                  5.Vacuum leak? I am not so sure about this cauz I don't know this word.What's a vacuum leak?? I will do a search after this.

                  -you will need a vacum guage on this one and must know the normal values..



                  6.We don't use Carbs,so..........

                  Likely to be..............?

                    I gotta go check the coil and distributor I think.And put some more cleaner into the tank......sigh......... hard to tell.I figured out that my mechanics are all like lazy,as long as I can drive,they just say "it's ok my friend,no big deal". Weired..........

                        exactly,I am afraid that they know the problems but just not want to tell me and wait for the big one to show up.............. I may go to another shop and have them to give it a shot and bring it back to the old one to fix,this sounds good to me.
