running rich, clicking, spraying fuel

[dsm1212]

alright so my car is completely stock i just have an air filter and it is running really rich. I don't know if it is only at idle because i can't tell when im driving but today in my driveway i could smell unburnt fuel i reved it up to about 5K and went behind the car and there was gas on the ground being sprayed out of the exhaust, also i don't know if this has anything to do with it but my bov is really loud and i don't know why. and the clicking sounds like its coming from the intake manifold or the fuel injectors, maybe the alternator ha i can't really tell.

If it's running really rich and is mostly stock it's a bad o2 sensor.

wouldn't a bad o2 sensor make my cel come on

not if you have some kind of tuning on it

Have you owned the car for a long time? If not maybe you have larger-than-stock injectors and not even know it. The only reason I say this is because the bigger injectors tend to make a clicking noise + plus your unexplained richness along with no CEL. Just a thought..

i have not owned the car long about 2 months maybe it could be bigger injectors idk how to tell if it is or not i don't have anything to tune with either yet or log, but i do have a pocketlogger on the way

i'll see if i can take a video of the clicking noise and post it on here

here is a picture of the gas that it sprayed out of the exhaust i will try and find something to record a sound clip of the clicking later. but i did notice that when i rev up the engine the clicking goes faster with the rpms but not necassarily louder and sometimes it just goes away.<br>

ok I know when i was venting to the atmosphere that i was running rich. And you said in your original post that your BOV is really loud now for some reason. Check your BOV make sure its connected to your intake still. As for the ticking it might be your valve lash adjusters ticking. not sure i would have to listen to it because mine tick as well.

i made sure the bov was still connected to the intake pipe and all t-clamps are tight maybe the bov is just leaking? i know the 2g's leak alot but would the leak enough to make them pretty loud i can here the turbo spool up really well too
