On 1/4/12, Vic hit 127,000 miles. It also needed a little adjustment after the intake job. There was a nasty smell of raw gas that was getting worse and worse. It was getting hard to sit inside the car! When I stopped to get some gas, I popped the hood and started sniffing. I spotted a lot of standing gas pooling around one coil pack. After sopping up as much as I could with some paper towels, I started to drive back home (about 30 miles). I stopped by Taxi Guy, and he had me drive the car into a bay, did a few quick adjustments, and now I can breathe in the car again. One of the coil packs was not seated right in the intake. I didn't realize just how little there is to keep them in place! Loosen the fuel rail, twist the coil pack around a bit, then tighten things back up! I am told there are O-rings that sometimes don't seat properly, helping such a problem to occur.
