Need help with CRX fuel problem

**157INY** · 25-02-2006 11:55 PM

Hi guys and girls.
I have a ZC CRX 1.6L Jap spec. I have this fuel problem, I can smell fuel in the car when I drive and now it is doing a lot of other things.
I have checked everything that I thought it could be i.e. filter, charcol filter, fuel filler,and etc.. I was at the shops today and it stalled and then did it a few more times and then wouldnt start, after I left it for a bit, then it started. I am thinking that maybe it is pushing through to much fuel or maybe not enough. I have read through all the already posted information in the archive but have not got anywhere. Also sometimes it runs on after I have turned the ignition off. If anyone can help I would be more than happy.
Thanks guys.

check your main PGMFI relay

hey there,

couple of things I can think off;

1: incorrect ignition timing - relates to the car being hard to start and running after you've switched the ignition off.

2: smell of fuel - if obvoiusly overfueling when the ignition timing is off which suggests your timing is too far retarded. Possible you have faulty plugs, wrong heat range something like that.

3: smell of fuel - if its right after you fill the car up, its possible you have a small leak right near the fuel pump.

mmmm mine has a smelly rear end as well. i reckon it would be your timing as well, best to replace parts starting from most obvious/cheapest then going onto more complex/expensive side of parts.
