digging up an old one for the records
I know this is old but I finally found out what was causing the gas smell.
Found this weekend that the intake manifold on the drivers side had 3 of the bolts loose where the 3 intake runners bolt up by the injectors. 2 of them weren't even threaded down tight enough to touch the intake and the third was very loose. I can't believe the car was running like this since I have owned it (over 50k) and didn't run lean, blow up, have bad mileage, etc...
I can now cruise sunroof-open without becoming asphyxiated and as an added bonus the car runs smoother and is definitely peppier than before.
Time to go drag race the wife and settle an old score...
