I'm back with another question.

I changed the oil today because I have been having low oil pressure problems and I thought it was related to the y-pipe being to close to the oil pan and heating up the oil. When I drained the oil I noticed a STRONG smell of fuel

So here are some questions.

1. Could this be caused by a bad fuel pump?
2. Could timing be the issue? Still have intermittent ping.
3. What voltage is required to operate 1 wire o2 sensor?
Computer and all associated wiring is gone. I want to use my voltmeter to check air/fuel rational but have no idea where to get voltage from.

Lastly, The part I dont understand is how the fuel is getting to crankcase. Does the fuel dilute the oil so much it is capable of flowing through the rings?

Thanks alot for any help.

Yes it definitely can be caused by a bad fuel pump.

Equally definitely, change the oil ASAP. Quit driving it until you do. And of course find the source, which is almost certainly the fuel pump, especially if it isn't running make-your-eyes-water rich.
