96' ford TaurusLX 75'000 miles 17-21mpg
Starting the car it starts rough
idles rough
and if the ac/vent was running on the car i could smell gas fumes
the car idles around 500-700rmp which i know for this model car is very uncommon unless there is a problem
the check engine light isnt on though was on for about 10min about a week ago, turned car off and on and light vanished
my theory (im not in anyway a mechanic) from what ive read and heard from rumors is the car is starving for Oxygen considering im getting the smell of gasoline in the cab
oh also once i get moving there arent any problems when driving except once i hit the gas pedal the car shoots forward and jumps to the proper RPM when accellerating
any ideas? i need to get this solved quickly beccause i have some serious driving i need to be doing this weekend = /
