Gas in the plenum
And further than that - all the way to the air cleaner! I installed an AFPR, and found out my diaphram was bad after gas squirted out over my windshield.
Is that how the gas got in there? What things should I check?
I already wiped out the gas in the plenum, took out the IAC, which I cleaned earlier during the AFPR install. It had a slight gas smell, so I think it may have gotten dowsed. But I wiped it clean, and reinstalled.
I haven't installed the new diaphram yet; I thought I would consult the forum as paranoia is getting the best of me. Did I totally jack something up? :nonod: :sad:

Re: Gas in the plenum (jmrl98)
Sounds like the gas was sucked through the vacuum line when the regulator was leaking explaining why the gs got inside the plenum.This is another reason i dont run an AFPR.The stocker works great and never has any problems and the risk of fire leaks scare me.I dont know your mods but if you have a near stock engine,you wont need an AFPR or thepotential problems that can come from it.
Be careful,check everything many times over when you fix it and keep a fire extinguisher handy at all times.
