Just wanted to start off by saying Happy Holidays to everyone!!! and hope your shopping is going well..lol
Anyway, I have a fuel odor coming from my motor somewhere under or around my upper manifold. I have had for maybe a month or so. My first though was injector O-ring but when I recently installed my SVT upper manifold I checked around for any fuel spillage or stains and sniffed around. I didn't see anything at all. I did notice the inside of the old intake smelled very much like fuel...alot in fact. If I understand correctly, the regulator is connected to the intake via a vacuum line. I did a search and found a post about a similar problem only under WOT and the presure regulator was a possiblity but there was no follow up post. Could this be my problem? I hope it is because the smell is annoying and it does come in through the interior vents.
Has anyone got any insight on this? ...Please?
BTW...I took my car in for this smell (extended warranty) and instead of trying to figure out where it was coming from they did $1100 worth of gasket and seal work and my engine still smells like gas. They said the smell was from oil leaking on my exhuast!! They even replaced my crankshaft seal!!! I don't know what they were thinking. Oh and they replaced my tranny pan with a revised design and gave me a free tranny flush. So I guess I cant complain
