I am brand new to the whole DSM thing and just bought a 91 Laser RS Turbo. I am very young and dumb when it comes to cars but am willing to learn if you just be patient with me.

Four things wrong

1. When driving I start to smell a lot of gas and see a few puddles below the fuel injectors under the intake manifold. Does gas often leak from the fuel rail or could it be coming from somewhere else?

2. There is a hissing noise under the hood at idle and I can't exactly tell where it is coming from. Like air escaping from somewhere or something. Any ideas? That's supposed to be bad right?

3. While in 1st and 2nd gear if i try to give it some gas it just spudders a little and I have to wait for it to get to 4,000 RPM's before i can give it real gas.

4. It idles rough as in the car is kind of shakes a little and it's kind of on and off.

Any advice will help a lot. Feel free to answer all or just one. THANKS! -Matt
