hey guys i just got my computer working but my car just kinda crapped out. i was driving normally 2 days ago. when i got done i pulled into my driveway at which point my car began to idle rough. by rough i dont mean rpm's are any different than normal the car just idle's rough like the motor moves to much to the point the entire car will shake. plus the exhaust smeels even richer than normal. at first i thought timing was an issue, but the more i think about it the more i think its the injectors help would be greatly appreciated.:sx:
my car smells like gasoline lately like hardcore, is that because im rocking the bov? is that what you mean by running "rich"
by running rish yeah i mean smells like raw gas and no i dont have atmospheric bov just the stock recirc
im asking about my car, it wreaks of gasoline. should i sell/ditch my bov? running rich isnt good and my car smells TERRIBLE
OP, could quite possibly be a leak. Try compression testing the intake tract. WRXbryan, the smell could be from aged fuel lines up front in the engine compartment. You have a 2002, and with time these cars are known to get that. I think they even put out a TSB about it.
2002 i think has a TSB on fuel lines on psgr side chk the fuel line clamp between the 2 cylinders on psgr side
checked all the vacum lines not a vacum leak. working on sprak plugs later today, if not spark then im looking at injectors. then if thats not it going to take it to the shop.
Mines doing the same thing and I have a reoccuring vacuum leak. Check the y pipe and hoses going to the intake manifold
haha i got a check engine light but is because i dont have a cel fix yet. but i was wondering i got a boost controller installed by top speed and the plugged the bung for where the recirc goes back to the intake (closest one to filter on spt short ram) but looks like they y'd it in father back. do you think this could be caused by them relocating the recirc line?
I would not think so. As long as there is not a leak to atmosphere. Did you pressure test the intake tract?
