Hey, So some of you know I drive a 2003.5 EM Sedan and I can be a noob at things but anyways on to my question...so I had my car parked on my driveway rear in (Backwards) and I was to lazy to turn it around before i put it in the garage and after I turned it off oh gosh my garage smelled sooo bad of gas and fumes that i had to open both garage doors for like 25 mins to air out...I have noticed my car is pretty smelly before but its never been a problem but this is just crazy is it normal that my car smells like a deisel truck? I fill it up with premuim chevron gas so it couldnt be bad gas...help a noob out Thanks in advance, Will (G35SedanGrn)

^Yes I Know But The Fumes Smell Worse Than My Infiniti FX35, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, And Nissan Altima...? Just Doesn't Seem Normal.

 

Normal. Check your #6 plug also, It could be covered in oil... Allowing unburnt fuel to escape.

 

^Valve Covers Changed Due To Oil Pooling In There, I Actually Think This Smell Started After The Stealership Changed My Valve Covers And Some Gasket They Said Was Leaking...Hmmm Weird...Im Still Under Warenty Till 2013 Extended Warenty FTW I Think Ill Let Them Know About This Smell When I Bring It In In 500 Miles

 

It's normal. Many late model cars run very rich prior to cat converter light off. My wife's Subaru Legacy will just about drop me in the garage if I start it and let it idle in the garage for 10 seconds prior to pulling out.

Oil isn't going to cause the smell. You're smelling raw gasoline vapor.

Writing police stepping in - you don't need caps on every word. It's hard to read.

 

I'm sorry it's my OCD it's a habbit I have had for years...
Thanks for your answer.
