I can start the car as soon as I put it in drive it shuts off if you let it run for a few the check engin light comes on then shuts off. And then u start to smell gas like gas is spitting back out.

Do step 2 in pic to get codes then go to our site and look under OBD1 for codes and what they mean. Also check fuel pressure with a gauge which should be 14.5 psi
