Back in 2007 and 2009, the car had a good smog report. The test was done in chulavista CA. Ive been smelling fuel before but I had an exhaust leak on the exhaust manifold at that time... I took it to kaizan to get it fixed for good cause they had to put new threads on the block. kaizen did a...
BEFORE
Any ideas.... the technician said timing... I really smell the fuel also.... Really dont know how to adjust timing on 7m-gte's....
AFTER
I was surprised on how much an O2 sensor could change the smog. No more scent of gasoline.. Thanks for everybody's input..
Sold the 89 turbo a few months ago
Been desperate on finding a good family car and finally found one. Got this one for a very decent. very close to how much i sold the supra. is300 9X,XXX miles.
Now parked with my 91
All that waiting actually paid off.
OK. This may sound stupid. The HKS Turbo catback came with a flat flange gasket that goes in between the cat and flange. I took the stock exhaust off and it does not have a flange gasket but it has that crushed WASHER/GASKET in between the cat. Do I have install both or just install the flat...

I should have waited to get more pics before I started the new thread. I took those pics from my cell before I left home. Ill take better pics tomorrow then post it.
I think your right. Thats why I could not explain the smell. I know it was not fuel. So, that means I have to replace cat now huh? Thanks for the technical advice.
Any chance that you might have an idea what caused the cat to get blocked like that. Probably 02 sensor or something else?
I have been getting very poor gas mileage on my 91 turbo. Before, I had that massive exhaust leak due to the strip exhaust manifold bolt. Thanks to Jose, they put my car back to life. It did not take long before it had this funny smell and poor gas mileage. The smell is like bad fumes from...
I have eibach tokico illumina set up. When I try to bounce the car from the rear, it makes the sound. I thought it was a basic tightening of the strut but I was surprised when I got to the shock part, everything was tight. When I drive at slow speed, it sounds like popcorn on the back. What...
First of all it is not my theory. Second, I am just giving support to one of the guys that posted his idea. And in most cases, when the battery keeps on dying while the car is running, it is an alternator issue (maybe unplugged or bad wiring/cable). And i did not say it is the best way, all I...
Hey, that is one of the simplest way to check the alternator. Start the car, pull the battery cable off the battery, if the car dies its an alternator issue. Whats wrong with that?
