Possible Fuel Problem.
 

Hey guys im having some trouble wit my camaro right now. When ive been driving for maybe like 7-10 minutes my car starts to smell alot like gas. its coming from tha front of tha car. if anyone knows wat can be tha cause of this it would be of much help. thanks

yeah,if its from the front,check the rubber part of the fuel lines,and then the injectors could be leaking or the fuel pressure regulator.

LOl this will be interesting since i know very lil about cars hehe still learning. ill see wat i can pull off lol hopefully i dont mess it up more than it already is. thanks for tha tip ill see if i can check them things out tommrrow morning.

where in phx ya live? if ya wanna drive out ehre n i can check it our for ya.

awesome i live on 19th ave and butler but i got no prob goin to ur house hehe. give me ur addy and around wat time can u help me. my cell is 602 740 0921

urs is TPI right? im on 107th n lower buckeye.

Yup Its A Tpi Maybe We Can Set Something For This Weekend.

i just got back from oklahoma today, anytime during the week after noon worx for me.

How About This Monday Around 3 Or 4 Pm? Pm Ur Addy So I Know Where Im Going.

LOL!! Be careful with that fuel problem! I had that same problem with my old Bronco II and when I finally figured out why it smelt so much like fuel it was because I had a fuel leak ON TOP OF MY ENGINE BLOCK!! Needless to say after my friend bought it from me (to put a new engine in it) the bay caught on fire on the way to his house....

...don't worry, I gave it to him perdy friggin' cheap...

Lets Do It On Tuesday Better. Pick A Time U Want Me To Go.

sorry ive been busy,the car got broken into by some morons and my amps got jacked, but that was it,the idiots left all the speakers and tools and crap. the alarm is going in this week...but anyways, i think im free anytime friday...pick a time and ill see what i can do


oh yeah,anyone gotta drivers side door glass i can get, the morons chipped mine when they were gettin into my crap.

i told u that that neighborhood is crap!!! dude.. get an alarm.. and a shot gun.. and im not joking.

That Sucks. They Actually Broke My Window Opened The Steering Colum And Tried To Lack My Car. They Failed To Turn It On So They Took My Amp Stereo And Stabbed My Speakers. Well Im Leaving To Cali This Thursday Morning Wont Be Back Till Monday.

yeah i know its crap. i think some of the construction ppl did it,since their puttin up new houses all around here. they prolly woulda tried to take my car if it'd had a tire on it,but at the time,a tire was off cause it blew out. well i plan on leavin the car unlocked n open in the street all day one day,n campinout somewhere close by w/ a bat and a paintball gun. and im not joking.lol

hey well im back from cali had a blast out there raced another Iroc-Z like mine hehe, but anyways when do u think u can help me out wit my car maybe we can set something up now that im back but it would prob have to be later on tha day because i get out of school at 5:30 unless u want to do it sometime during tha weekend.

ummm.how bout thursday?

sounds good wat time i can do anytime after 4pm on thursday.

well how bout around 7 or so? it isnt as hot and all

sounds koo just need ur addy

I'm new here and I don't know if you fixed the problem but it is pretty common for these cars to leak gas where the main fuel line comes in to the back of the fuel rail nearest the firewall. It is the big nut next to the fuel pressure regulator. Bleed the system and change out the o-rings. Try that.

yah where goin to change tha fuel pressure regulator and tha O rings soon.

u still comin sunday or what? and what time if u r

hey i tought i had told u if we could do it next sunday, cause i work this sunday in tha afternoon i go into work at 6p. how about next sunday around 6 or 7 like last time.

oh yeah,lol,i forgot,yeah,thats cool w/ me.
oh yeah,u know the guy in ur apartments w/ the primered iroc. error404. he's the guy i helped w/ his fuel line,it was shooting onto his engine,lol.

hehe sounds like ur tha official mechanic for sands point now lol. i newer seem to catch him when he goes out in his iroc. i think he hides or comesout when im sleeping lol.

Hey Sebastian (that how you spell it?) do you think you still might be able to look at my paint job? Won't be in the NEAR near future, but not too terribly long from now... If not, its kewl!

Bruce (90RS305)

yeah i can do the paint job thing. im jsut busy alot now cauise i finally got a job,lol. and school takes up alot of my time also.

yah i know wat u mean goin to school and having to work i get a daily amount of 4 hours of sleep 5 hours on some days. sucks ***.

4 hours?! I'm jealous!!!



:D :doh:

Camarostud,

What subdivision do you live in over at 107th and Lower Buckeye?

I'm over at 119th and Van Buren.

Bill

I dont know what the subdivisions called,lol. its right past mc85, the new houses, if u were to turn left on the second street on the left, which would b zak rd, and follow it down,ud c one of my cars. its impossible to miss,its the last house on that street,if u wanna stop by sunday go for it. we should be here workin on his car.

I am actually at work right now working a graveyard. I get off around 6 am. After I go home and get some sleep I might just do that. Nothing else going on Sunday.

:mad: im doing graveyard too. sucks working over nites sometimes specially tonight. i dont get out of work till 3pm from 10pm saturday till 3p sunday then get ready and head to camstud at 7p then go back to work at 10p lol yay ill get 3 hours of sleep this time lol:mad:

Thats a long day, where do you work?

at a group home taking care of mentally challenged people. and its not as easy at it sounds hehe. lots of people think its a kick back job, well its kick back if u get a good house myhouse is good half the time then the other half of the time there out trying to beat me up:(

lol! Do you get battle pay for that?

hazardous pay man,lol

hahahaha i wish i got paid hazardous pay if i did i wouldent be working so much hours lol. thers enough hazards in one work day over here.last nite before i got to work one of the clients went awol on the other staff lol

What time are you guys meetin' up today?

as far as i know he'll be here around 7 i think? and were pulling the plenum and injectors and replacting the o-rings, and the fuel pressure regulator.

OK if I stop by?

yeah,go for it, the more the merrier. but be warned my garage is a mess cause we just moved to this house from 107th n northern.

Will do, I'll stop by after 7pm.

I just reread the threads. Are you guys working on the car today or next sunday?

well as far as i know,its today,but i may wrong,lol. i guess I'll findout if he shows up

Yah Im Going Today

so hows the car w/ the adjustable fuel pressure regulator? if you want i can turn the psi up a little. if you still semll gas then the only other thing it can be is the evap canister. your fuel pressure held for a long long time.lol

well it sure feels alot better now but i havent really drove the car much after i left ur house i went to work and i usually drive my truck when i go to school or anywhere i go. i have the iroc parked. ill go try it out tonight go drive down to tempe or mesa or somewhere far hehe so i can see if it smells again like gas.

:( still smells like gas. i drove for a while today after i got out of class. it started to smell but not as bad as other times. every damn stop light i was mad lol smelled and smelled. i changed tha fuel filter so its not cause of that i also got my rear serviced today too lol
