My exhaust smells like unburnt fuel.......... What may be wrong? LOL plz dont say HG..........maybe timing? blown piston?.any suggestions :)
 
Truely stock, I think it may be tyhe timing is off.........anyone know how much it would cost to have a mech do the timing and a new belt??????
 
It could be something as simple as a bad O2 sensor.

How many miles on car?
Last time the O2 sensor was replaced?
 
It has 142000 mile on it. Im not sure when the O2 was replaced. it make a whiney noise down in by the pulleys with the timing belt........im just concerned im gonna lose some valves, and i really dont wanna get ripped off by a mech i wanna know what i need done when i go to the mech... and I trust the opinion of ppl on here with good ratings.
 
I just took off the oil cap and i can definently smell gasoline in with the oil.................................
