gettin high off gas fumes

Z28EATR · 03-21-2001, 04:18 PM

since the weather started warming up gas fumes are about killing me in my stang, i know the injectors need new rings which i have bought and hope that will fix it and i also put some injector cleaner in the tank just in case, i really havent seen any performance lag, but when i go to start the car it now takes 2 or 3 cranks to get the fuel pressure up so it will start. It seems as if one cycle of the fuel pump isnt enough, if i cycle the fuel pump 2 or 3 times and can hear it bog down from the pressure then start the car it starts on the first time, oh yea it is kinda starting to idle high. Sounds like fuel pressure, but not pump related, help please

Well, I think you should install the new o-rings on your injectors... Mine were real bad at one point and it was getting gas everywhere, and it also idled high (vaccuum leak from the o-rings?) and fuel pressure would also take a bit longer as usual to stabilize. After I put the new injectors in, it was perfect! Good luck!

man, when i wanna get high from gas fumes, i just hang out at the local quicktrip and walk around cleaning everybody's windows. but seriously change the o-rings. are they the original injectors? have you checked the fuel lines and rails for leaks? if you know the smell is coming from the engine compartment id say thats your prob. but if the smell is coming from the exhaust it could be a number of things. change the o-rings first. goodluck, nick
