Flashing CEL and gas smelling inside car
 
Hey guys I recently upgraded my ignition system to LS2 and I am still getting misfires on rotor 1. I am also getting a raw gas smell inside my car. I have already clean my spark plugs and checked to each coil to make sure every is okay. Has anyone had problems similar to this? Ive also read online that the problem could be faulty fuel injectors

Raw Gas Smell: First, stop driving the car for the sake of safety.

Second, remove the rear seat to expose the fuel pump cover. Remove the cover and inspect the lines goign to the pump. The lines to the pump can get brittle and crack with age and wear.

Flashing CEL is a misfire usually. Do you smell gas from the engine bay? Check the exhaust too....you might be flushing gas right out your exhaust.

yea my car has a pending po301 code but the engine light hasnt came one. I have already the whole ignition system with no luck of finding the problem.

make sure your cat isn't flooded with fuel / blocked up.

I was flooded really bad a couple days ago before I upgraded the ignition kit but I drives okay except for the misfiring

stop driving it. Drop your cat and make sure it isn't blocked up. Sounds like that might be your issue here.

Put your mind at ease and make sure your fuel pump lines arent leaking as well. (especially if you smell fuel inside).

I check my cat and there is no sign of it being clogged. I also checked my MAF sensor and there was a lot of oil build up on it
