I've been having this problem for a while now and wondering if you guys have any insights on what I can try next. You can check my sig to see my aftermarket parts I have. What I dont have listed is my BBK 52mm throttle body upgrade. My issue happens when the car is warmed up and driven for about 20 min. When I'm stopped I can smell fuel/exhaust coming from the bottom of the car. The more I drive the worse it gets and I also have the issue of a stumble idle but not enough where it'll die. When I step on the gas while in park and I rev the engine I get a little hesisation at first and then It'll rev up fine.* I've just bought a new MSD ignition coil and box cuz I thought that might be the problem but didnt help.:no:* The performance does not seem to be affected but then again I'm going by seat of the pants feel so It hard to say if I'm losing any power or not. My idle is around 600rpm. Im thinking 3 things:1). Something in the exhaust system might be loosed or cracked and Ive visually checked it and only had to tighten the collecter on the drivers side a little. 2.) Maybe my bigger throttle body is throwing off something but I always thought the 58's were not good and the 52's were pretty much the size of the intake holes. Maybe the air-fuel ratio's are thrown off?** Im thinking of doing a dyno tune to it but that might be my last option cuz its damn expensive.3.)The charcoal canister on the drivers side of the car...I'd hate to do this if a hard job but if you guys think that'll help I will do it.The engine has just about to hit 89000 miles and has a new opti (obviously), timing chain and some other bolt on things but the main block and internals are stock and could it just be the engine getting tired?Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone in advance.
