Smells like unburned fuel....
Hello all,
My question is everytime I park the car in the garage, I get this strong smell
of unburned fuel.
what could cause this?
I do have the check engine light on and when I checked the code it gave me
an EGR fault. Would this be the one causing it or is there something else?

I just ordered two new catalytic converters from www.ecatalyticconverter.com for $200. I'm installing them this week. The "unburned fuel smell" should be gone, my gas mileage will increase, my car won't shake violently because of the clogged cats, and I'll be getting all that carbon monoxide out of my tailpipes instead of back through my engine and out. That's where the gas smell was coming from.

Great..
Will look into getting those "CATS" replaced asap.
I wonder if buying one of those so called performance CATS give us any hp?
My car is a 90 model with 155+++ miles on it.

$114.08 per side.
