Car smells like strait fuel. The only thing my car has been doing latley is a small header exhaust leak. Could that be it?

Thanks for the offer! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif) but I'd like to give it a shot myself,...that is if it turns out to be the injectors. Any special things to look for or do you think I would know pretty easy if they need replacing?

get a fuel pressure gauge and see what your FP is at...few months ago mine went out on me and it was just straight fuel smell.

i once had a o ring bust on one injector
on the way to san diego..
i barely made it to a gas station.
it happened at the worst time and place..
going over a tow bridge.. i lost like 8 gallons of gas in the matter or 5mins..luckly i was coasting the car at 90mph.. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
ran outta gas like 4 blocks for the gas staition
and i had to trick the clerk to turn on the pump
so i could fill up my 2 litre bottle of coke
enough gas to drive it up to the station..
man o man was that a horrible day not only dangerously risking a engine fire and my life. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
