Fuel Smell


Recommended Posts

I have an r33 gts25t. On start up there is a strong smell of unburnt fuel from the exhaust. i have also noticed it sometimes when idling. When I start the car, the smell drifts past the drivers window. The car is starting fine and runs well. I have a Mines Engine Management Computor and am wondering if it is this causing it. I have an air pod and 4" stainless exhaust. Any idea's, comments would be greatly appreciated.

Fuel is definitely coming from the exhaust. When cold it runs so rich u can see grey smoke when its idling. I am wondering whether it could be some sort of cold start mechanism. Does anyone know how or where this could be and how to check it? I dont know whether it is running rich when hot and driving, but cant see smoke when hot. And yes, it is definitely rich smoke not oil. The motor has 60 000 km on it and doesnt use any oil. The engine also runs like a clock and the only miss-fire it has, is at 7000 rpm.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
