folks....recently starting smelling gas fumes out of my LT1, particularly when sitting at idle with AC/heat on. I've been all over the engine, can't find any sign of a leak...so, I'm thinking that it's got to be coming from my exhaust....i.e., running rich and I'm smelling the exhaust that's coming back under the car. I got behind the car with it running and it does smell rich...when i cut off the engine i continued to smell wafts of gas fumes, again coming from the rear. But, the smell isn't as strong as what I get sitting in car. Guess that could be because I'm in a confined space, vice standing in the great outdoors---duh! So, with my limited corvette experience--all of two weeks now--I need some help. Seeing that there's no sign of any leaks, could this be a problem with 02 sensors, or something amiss with the MAF? Any suggestions are appreciated....
BTW, per my previous posting regarding the peeling/flaking leather paint....the dealer I bought my car from--off of ebay, by the way--has agreed to take both seats back and get them professionally refurbished (at his expense) and as a result of my inconvenience with the seat situation, he said he'd also pick up the tab for replacing all the cracked weatherstripping (about $500 worth). Now that's service!
