Re: Smell Gas & Bad Milage (black88si)
Well i dont think it culd be the injectors because i just put this engine in my car (blew a rod bearing on the old one 
)the car i got the engine form didnt smell like gas. Even when my car had the original engine in it (the blown up one) it did the same thing? How do i go about checking the injectors anyways? Its worth a try
Thanks for the help

start the car, open the hood and look at the intake manifold. Right around the flange if the manifold looks sorta crusty and brown and you smell gas real bad, or there are any puddles in the manifold you probably have leaky injectors.
