I just had my intake manifold gasket change on my chevy malibu changed. Now it gags you with a smell of gas. It is really bad when on defrost, or idling. Can't smell it when driving and car defrost is not on. Put in 8 gallons of gas and got 85 miles. What is wrong?


What could they have left loose? I forgot to add I also had an O2 sensor replaced as well. This mechanic has become a nightmare.
