Title: Fuel Problem
Post by: Brad on November 16, 2005, 07:36:36 PM

When I have been starting my car up it smells like gas really bad like it is pooling somewhere...it has to burn off all that gas sitting somewhere then today it started to die on me when i would hit the gas. It would just quit. Can someone please help me...i checked the codes and it came up with 12 and 31...i think it's an injector problem but what do i know

evap solenoid code

EVAP solenoid circuit Harness and connector / EVAP solenoid
Evaporatice purge flow monitor failure (M/T) Evaporative purge solenoid / Clogged purge line / Vacuum hose / Evaporative emission canister clogged

That can explain the gas smell, but the stalling leads me to believe it is the coolant temp sensor.

I had this code a couple of months ago. I found that the solution was as simple as reattaching a small rubber hose which had come disconnected from the EGR valve in the back of the engine. I think that there are two hoses that go into the valve itself coming from the EGR solenoid, and two that go from the solenoid into the intake plenum. Just make a quick check to ensure that they are connected. This may not be your problem but hey, it's quick, and it's free.
