Hi all,
My '97 XJ 4.0L smells like gas, but only on the driver side when I get out. Passenger doesn't smell it and we can't smell it inside, but when I have them walk around to my side they smell it too. The cat was replaced by the dealership and I've only been driving it now for about 2 weeks, but most of the trips I do are very short, usually no more than a few minutes each way.
I've read that after exhaust upgrades/replacements its typical to smell something as the heat burns off the coating they put on the inside of the units for about a week. Is it possible this is what I'm still smelling? I've only done about 1 trip where it was 45 minutes/1 hour each way.
Also, should the new cat make my Jeep sound like a civic farting along? I really hate the new noise...I prefered it when the cat was bad, but it was causing acceleration problems.
Is there anything else I can look for? I've been trying to check for leaks but everyday I go outside to look underneath its either snowed or rained.
Thanks for all your help.
