gas smell

Once it happened, I would stop the car and check under the hood to see if I could locate it. Could be any number of things...look for leaks first.

Do you use MAX Cool position in your air settings?

Thank you for replying. No, I don't use the Max cool setting. I have had the car for years and I haven't ever noticed a leak of any kind. Could it have something to do with the timing or idle set too high?

probably not... if you are smelling raw gas, you have a leak. You should find it ASAP to avoid a fire.

You might check your fuel filter (if same as 1994, it's under the car, right side, ahead of rear wheel well.

This sounds scary. I check it. Thanks for your help.

When I check it, what would I see that would tell me that that is the problem?

In my case, gasoline was dripping from it, so it wasn't hard to spot... The filter was very rusty, and replacing it did the trick.

Again, if it's the same as my 1994, you can see it easily -- it looks like a fat tin can tucked behind the "frame" rail (really the rocker panel.
