Need some help.

3areeb · March 2nd, 2011, 04:03 AM

I have a 2004 3.9L. This has just happened recently but my car how one of my friend described it sounds like its dying. It had a rumble sound coming from the Headers. And she told me she can smell gas from the outside of the car. I will try to post a video tmrw when I drive but the car has never made this sound anymore. I might be wrong out the car sounds like that but it never has. I will post a video up when I drive tmrw. Im not sure whats really going on so Ill rather ask you guys for some help.

Thanks in advance.

Where can she smell gas at? I have no clue what your taking about but smelling gas could be due to the rubber gromet our tanks use that leaks...in fact i need to replace mine. Ill probably do it when i drop the tank for the new fuel pump.

She said she can smell it inside the car, and also to the right side of the engine.

I took a video but you cant hear the rumble in it. But I can smell gas coming from the right side of the engine, its smells as if its coming from the headers.

2000stallion · March 2nd, 2011, 06:34 PM

only thing i can think of is your header might have cracked due to the AC dripping on it. Check out your passenger side header and see if you can see cracks or anything

Mach Stang · March 2nd, 2011, 07:00 PM

^ that. The AC compressor or something drips water right on to the header on the right. Can you hear any faint ticking noise?

another cracked manifold strikes again...time for some headers

Mach Stang · March 2nd, 2011, 07:15 PM

I kinda want it to happen to me so I have a reason the get LT. I need to start using the AC more. even if its 20 out side lol

BlueScreaM · March 2nd, 2011, 07:15 PM

seafoam it and see if any smoke leaves the engine or anywhere around it.

Mr. Red Pony · March 2nd, 2011, 08:25 PM

3areeb · March 3rd, 2011, 02:24 AM
