Not normal. Leaking fuel line?

shadycrew31 11-04-2010 06:44 PM

sounds like a plug wire isnt connected properly.

Get it checked out right away.

Easy_E1 11-04-2010 08:39 PM

I would be checking the entire fuel system for a leak. Evaporative system too.

Bad Ignition coils. Most common issue as far as misfires go.

Did this smell begin about the same time you experimented with that throttle body spacer?

Jojo_beans14 11-05-2010 03:43 PM

Now that I thing about it ya a lil after like a day or 2 after but I took it off about 3 days after I put it on. It was a helix power spacer

Jojo_beans14 11-05-2010 06:20 PM
