ok....here we go.
if you are getting a raw fuel smell out of the tail pipes then you dont have a lack of fuel....you have too much fuel at idle. now a few things that could cause this are: vacuum leak, leaky fuel injector, bad mass air flow sensor. first off i do recommend bringing the car to a mechanic since it doesn't sound like you are too familiar with cars, but i will give you a few easy things you can try. take the mass air flow sensor out of the intake and clean it. DO NOT use brake clean or carb cleaner to do this. use either electrical cleaner or they do make a mass air flow sensor cleaning solution that you can buy at many auto parts stores. if that doesnt fix it you can check for a vacuum leak. you can do this one of two ways. either listen for it or spray some carb cleaner on the the intake and all the vacuum lines. let the car idle if possible and listen for a hissing noise. if you are spraying carb cleaner then spray everything down and listen for the engine to pick up idle. if it does isolate where you are spraying and look for a broken or damaged vacuum hose or bad gasket of some sort. if you find nothing then stop wasting your time and money and bring it to a qualified tech. so it can get fixed before you really hurt yourself or your car. good luck! :SNSign:
