I have achevy astro minivan that has a gas smell while starting and driving, there are no visible leaks i can find. Also wont start frequently without carb cleaner or starting fluid being injectred. has rough idle and wont shift gears properly. Had it scanned and auto zone said it only had a shift solenoid code which explains the shifting but not the rest. I have asked everyone and they dont know. Cant take to the shop because they want to charge to diagnose it and it is 45 dollars and up hourly rate.
