Alright, here is my problem... I blew up my stock turbo ( t25) so i put in a 16g... since it blew up on me when i first got it i still dont have an intake or exhaust or an safc.... so here is my question for you??? Why am i leaking the gas into my oil pan???? Im not getting any white smoke... is it because im just runnning incredibally rich, and should i not drive it until i get it fixed....
 
When my capacitors went bad on the ecu it made my car run soo rich that it filled the oil pan full of gas. Here is a link that will show some symptoms:

This is basically just how to but it gives the symptoms of impending doom. I am in no way saying that this is your problem but when mine filled the oil full of gas this was my problem.
 
hey, you telling me to get a ecu was the wrong solution, it was the fuel pump, since i dont have an aftermaket afpr....


have a nice day, and learn what your talking about

Not to rail on ya but that was a pretty cuick conclusion to jump to. Running rich is deffinatley the most likely conclusion, but there are many things that can cause this. Sometimes it can be as simple as driving your car short distances on a regular bases and running rich before it warms up. If this guy had dropped $800 bucks on a new ecu he would have been prety bummed.

I am sorry man I didn't even notice it was two other people who mentioned the ecu, I made an uneducated assumption myself, my bad. Least it didn't cost nobody nothin though :rolleyes:
 
off topic but how can you tell if your leaking gas into the oil pan?

If its bad you will notice the oil on your dipstick will seem thin, and should smell like gas. This shouldn't happen unless something wrong with your car is making it run very very rich, enough so you will notice the car running like crap. Like I said earlier, when you start your car when it is first warming up it can leak some gas into the oil pan, once it gets hot it will stop and the gas will start to evaporate, so if you start your car drive 4 blocks to work, home ect and don't let it run at operating temps very often, then it's quite possible when you change your oil you will notice it seems thinner and smells like gas. These are some of the reasons I found it rash to jump to the conclusion that this guy needed an ecu.
 
LoooL $1.01, but there will be about $10 in shipping in handling fees :laugh: s/h cost 9 more than the part :D
