Hi all, just noticing little things the more I drive my Z,

When I hit the loud pedal with moderate force I get a distinct smell of either burning oil or half burnt petrol, im not really sure which.. but my main issue, is, why can I smell it?? where would likely gaps be from engine bay or exhaust? is it possible its coming through the air inlets? and on top of that, whats the best thing to do to fix the issue in the first place? is it possibly a sticky injector or something so its running richer than it should?

i've given it a bit of a rev with the bonnet up and cant seem to smell it then... which makes me think exhaust..??

I really dont know.. anybody elses Z smell of petrol?

Also while im at it, injector cleaner? any reccomendations?

Was also thinking plugs and leads maybe too, any reccomendations on those either?

 

Cheers

Haha mine stinks of petrol at times mate and a few others I know.

Buy the oxy sensors can play up and over fuel!

Also another good one is someone using the wrong type of fuel line in a repair before, you should have rubber hose and not the the sort that is braided coz that's for low pressure like carbs.

There are braided fuel lines running across my headers.. doesnt look like a repair though, more of a replacement?? still could be an issue i guess?

I'll take a look at getting some new/cleaning up sensors in the near future.

 

Any reccomendationson plugs and leads?

 

Cheers
