when my car is turned on, standing next to it, I can smell gas burning, I also got some friends who noticed it too plus my car eats alot of gas...what are my problem or is normal because of modification.

my mods.
skunk2 chip/p28
skunk2 cams
skunk2 cam gear
dc header/exhuast
66 mm holley throttle body
vortech fuel pressure

 

I bet that Skunk2 chip in the ECU has something to do with it. It's fuel maps are probably designed to run ridiculously rich.

Are you throwing any kind of CEL?

 

have you checked for leaks?

yeah... it could be the chip.

 

chip... and have u had it tuned? wahts the fpr at?

 

if u have a chip that would do it - also check if all your sensors are hook up like MAF and Temp into the intake.. make sure ur not leakin .. leakin = fire

 

I have no leaks nor no cels are throwing???but all I have to say is that, my car eats alot of gas. fpr right before fuel rail.

 

99% it's the Skunk2 Chip

 

We can't help you until you tell us what your FPR is set to...

 

With a chip, throttle bodie and pressure regulater of course you will burn more gas. Now that you have more air and fuel dumping in and more exhaust dumping out, you need more spark to set the whole thing off. go get bigger wires, better plugs and an external coil and see what happens.

 

okay heres what I found out. did a close up examaning the wires and everything, it was fine but check spark plug and realized that it turned really dark at the bottom tip however these are cheap bosch spark plug that I put in new about two weeks ago, did it turn dark because it was cheap or something with the motor???also what kind of spark plug and wires should I get, my wires are shitty too??

 

That chip is running you hella rich. Skunk2 designs its products with a high air intake in mind (think larger TB/Intake w/ Sk2 IM). Get rid of the chip to lean it out to normal.

 

Dark = Rich

 

I tried taking the chip out but the car boggs, what else could I try???

 

thanks also in process of learning.

 

My belief is you'll have to tune it, and run the right fuel maps or you'll keep running rich which isn't a good thing.

 

thanks, any other advice???

 

Make more spark to burn the fuel

 

Get your car tuned. I am assuming the standard chip was reset when you reinstalled it since it was out. But you may have to adjust your cams to the new map.
