why does my engine smell like gas when i start it

 

Check your fuel lines and make sure you do not have a loose fitting or damaged line. Fuel spraying around in an engine compartment is a definite hazard ...

 

When you find the fuel leak then you will know.

 

Because you still haven''''t changed your ECTS like we''''ve advised, so your car is running richer than hell (with a fuel mix equivalent to that used when it''''s about -40 outside), since you said you disconnected the known\bad ECTS sensor...

If you''''re gonna ask for advice and then not follow it, please stop asking questionsEdited by: derf
