Re: gas smell

Could be an exhuast leak or a vacuum leak as well. Or your O2 sensor or CTS is faulty and telling the PCM to run the motor too rich on fuel.

Re: gas smell

the proiblem was the test port under the fuel pressure regulater which looks like a valve stem was loose a couple of turns i lucked out. at first when the leak became bad enough where i could see dripping i thought it was the f.p.r. but it seems to be fine now but thanks for at least one reply
