Gas smell from injectors

Topic starter

2001 v6 Toyota Solara - There’s a strong smell of gas coming from the  injectors under the intake manifold, it also looks a little wet but can’t exactly pinpoint. I’m not sure how to start or address the problem since I want to fix it myself.

it probably needs new injector o-rings. Either way you'll have to tear into it to find out. You're going to need a service manual.

Thank goodness for the internet:

Don't forget to disable the fuel pump and relieve fuel pressure before you work on it if you don't want problems.

This video is exactly where I found the leak idk what should I replace I have a code for the O2 sensor should I replace the part and the o2 sensor?


you'll have to look in the manual I posted to see what part that is. Pressure regulator maybe?

Your O2 sensor is unrelated. Please made a new topic about that, and it would help if you provided the actual code and definition. (check on obd-codes.com)

Obviously you need to look harder to find the source of the gas leak. That thing is nearly a quarter century old so prime suspects would be any rubber parts, but it could be anything in the fuel system in and around that area.
