Hard start-gas smell-no codes
Hi all;
Happy Thanksgiving to the forum. I have an issue with my car starting-initial idle. Occasionally my car will struggle to start. When this occurs i can smell a strong gas smell as if a rich air-fuel mixture. Then the car may idle slow and almost die unless I give it a little pedal. No DTC Codes located. One time a while ago I got a MAFS Code when travelling at high speed but nothing now. Any thoughts? Thanks!
