Default My car stinks

I have a 1990 CRX Si with a DOHC ZC swap. The car reaks of exhaust/gas inside and outside. If I drive across town my clothes will smell like it. I dont know if maybe its overfueling or something but has anyone else experienced this or know what it could be?

you probably have a fuel leak either under the hood or in the car ,i'm guessing the gasket around the door for the fuel pump has a crack in it

dude...if the charcoal canister is clogged it would run like sh*t
and if it was coming from the exhaust (which the canister would do) you would't make it across town with out passing out from the CO

Yah it dosent run like **** so its not the charcoal canister. I suppose it could be a fuel leak since I'm also getting shitty gas mileage. I'l look into that, thanks
