Overfueling? Badly.

[seanofnp]

I dont know wether its the gunnerchip or lack of interior, but me and everone around me when i drive my car can smell petrol. And it drinks fuel like its going out of fasion. Yeah tis quick, but shouldnt STINK of it?


Any ideas?

Got a leak?

[seanofnp]

I dont think so, ive checked and cant find one. Fuel doesnt seem to go down overnight.

odd. sounds like a lambda problem.

i changed the lamba for a brand new bosch one.

[MAXIBOY]

can you try the old chip/ecu back in and see how it goes

[BRUN]

this might sound daft, but the new lambda is plugged in isnt it ?

[seanofnp]

erm, im sure its plugged in? the car is going up on a ramp tomorrow, so will check again lol.

I dont have the old ecu, its just a willy2 chipped ecu i got with the engine.

I have a willy 2 gunner chipped ECU and mine is fine, i coudl smell fuel in my old RSi, turned out fuel lines upt o engine were cracked and leaking fuel vapour, never noticed fuel dropping, tbh if its spraying out it will be when the car is moving and the fuel is under pressure so you ain't gonna see puddles of the stuff

[Coops]

ai, i had this with the turbo, was leaking under pressure. start the engine and check all connections and literally just use ur nose to follow the smell.

check obvious places aswell like injectors, and end of fuel rail, could also be connection to cold start injector, easy to forget to nip that up
