1- my car does not stay on once i turn it on, i would have to turn the key and accelarate it for bout 5 to 10 secs so it can stay on it mostly does it in the cold i tried the gas line anti freeze and nothin happen, what u guys think its been like that for bout a month already

2-once the car is on the engine is quiet, but after it warms up i hear ticking, when i bought the car the engine neva did that but after a few month it started happening, what u guys think its been like that for maybe 5 to 6 month

3- my car revs up and down not alot, it does stay unda 1000 rpm but it feels like its goin to shut off somtimes, that started happening after i got my cam seals done

4- i smell gas around my car, and it drinking alot of gas, i smell it more once i open the hood and i smell it more inside the car from the passenger side, i check around the engine, i see no leak i check unda the car ( in the garage ) no leaks can someone tell me what else or where else i can check

5- spark plugs and wire are almost new, but i was thinkin of changin the cap n rotor n gas filter to see if it help what u guys think?

here is what i have, i have a 95 ls se, it has a 2000 block & intake manifold, and a 93 ls head, the pcv valve is not pluged in bought the car like that, and the sensor on top of the intake manifold is not plugged in, i bought the car like that and found out lata on bout the mix engine but even though i neva had a problem till now, jus incase i also have a AEM short ram intake greddy headers, 2.5 exhaust with cat & resenator, & greddy evo muffler, neva had non of these problem till bout a month ago, please can someone help me im not really into speed at this point, im jus into looks but i want my car running and soundin good, i got a b16 head that i bought and started doing work to it, should i jus slap the head and it will solve my problems?

 

please is there anybody out there that knows

 

check for any vacuum leaks. if there is a vacuum leak your o2 sensor will read a lean mixture and then will richen the crap out of it so that could be your fuel mileage problem. a vacuum leak would also cause you to have an inconsistent idle. may even cause your staring problem. pull your plugs out and see what they look like and smell them. if they reek of fuel then you know your running rich. check your fuel pressure regulator as well. also check your iac valve for your idle problem. hope i was any help at all.

 

thanks alot ima take a look tomorrow ill let u kno what i find

 

Not sure how you would check your fuel pres. reg. other than seeing if its bolted down and the lines are on there lol. Anyway. I would do a tune up. Its always a good thing to do for a car that is starting to get older or get a few miles on it. New cap, rotor, plugs, wires, maybe even a fuel filter, air filter if needed. Stuff like that. Little things can make it run like ****. Do you have a check engine light on? If so what codes is it throwing?

It does sound like you may have a vacuume leak. But like the other guy said. Take the plugs out, but dont just smell them. Look at the color of each of them. If it looks white then your running too lean and your plugs are getting too hot. If it has a redish tint then its running good. If its black then your running too rich and carbon is building up on it.

You might also think about doing a good sea foam job. It will help with carbon build up on pistons, valves, and intake. But that will just help it run a bit better. So you have a few things to check out. Keep us updated.

 

lol my bad on that one with the regulator. i meant check the fuel pressure and make sure you are not running too much fuel pressure. my bad. keep us posted.
