I just recently got a 94 EG hatch with a 95 USDM B18C1 from red dragon, im very pleased with the car. but i have one problem, if i get on it at all, and especially when vtec kicks in, i can smell exhaust in the car, but theres no sign of any leaks under the hood, or on the exhaust. Any ideas would help alot. Rob has no idea, i dont think he was aware of it. Also, let me kno if any of you have the same problem. Thanks

also, i took out the heater control, and when it was out the wire cable connecting the slider to the lever that shuts the valves under the dash slid out, so when i put it back in i wasnt sure exactly which path it took, the slider doesnt work right now, the whole cord moves if i slide it to the right instead of the metal inside the rubber sleeve. Also, the valves seem to be real hard to move even if i do it with my hand, any ideas on how i can loosen that up, grease something, if so where. THANKS ALOT to anyone who can help, its greatly appreciated.

 

how's the seal on the hatch? It could be drawing in from the back.

 

doubtful, hatch seems good, and it seems to be comin from the engine bay

ps. i did search and most of the people with this are boosted and run into problems with the wastegates and stuff, but im runnin all moter and i cant find any leaks
