I think idle problem, gas smell and weird sound..

Postby LSpec » Sun Aug 03, 2008 10:56 pm

:(

I have a battery problem and that is why my car don´t start for 2.5 weeks.
Yesterday, the battery was installed, but when I started the car it makes a different sound like idle problem, and it smells like gasoline.
beside of that, the revs going down sometimes but not so much. :?

the sound its difficult to explain, but it is like hoarse, rough not so clean and nice as original....

Does not have a check engine light, does not feel weak or slow when I am driving it. 8)

What it could be? any similar case.... :?:

Clean the stepper motor. That's usually the culprit. :wink:

Yes. When I changed my battery recently it screwed up the stepper. Simply cleaning fixed all the idling problems. :)
