Okay who here gets a pretty strong fuel smell in the cabin, when the car is turned off.

I do and I have no Idea why, the old girl who used to sniff the stuff was outta my life and long time ago, hehe

If anyone has any idea where this is coming from or why da hell i can smell fuel ....(making sure insurance policy is current incase of EXPLOSION) can you please let me know.

Thanks a lot, oh yeah and yes I have been putting fuel in the fuel tank only. learnt that lesson a while ago.

i notice theres abit of fuel fume smell if its a hot day, had a drive, switched the car off for a few minutes and then switched it back on

u notice the vapour pouring out of the fuel lid, something to do with the fuel return line maybe?

check for fuel leaks around the fuel filter/fuel lines in the engine bay

one of my first cars (which i wont say) had a leak at the fuel filter and noticed a real strong smell IN the engine bay along with inside the cabin

just a thought...

Well i gotta service this thing its been on the road like 2 weeks since licencing and i havent done a thing. i guess oil + filter, fuel filter, plugs etc and yeah hopefully it is the filter, but yeah i am sure i am going to have to pay a visit to the fuel filler and have a look there. Dang

      I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.

      I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?

      Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot.

      It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
