Okay, I am back. This time I have a problem of smelling gas. When I start my vehicle up I smell gas fumes, Under the hood and inside the car. I think it is a fuel injector problem. Not sure. There is no evidence of gas leaking from the gas hose, fuel tank or gas cap. I have also notice the vehicle idles rough. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Good evening

Yes, it could be an injector.

No matter what, get it somewhere immediately and have it checked. It is an extreme fire hazard and you dont want to be in that situation.

The fuel leak on a hot surface can cause spontaneous combustion and that can be dangerous.
