Well lately at longer stop lights I've been smelling gas! And yes, my gas mileage has been doing horrible. She also stutters a tiny bit when I down shift to pass someone. Help?!

 

Here, take it,

and putit out of its misery, then bring the gun back...haha jk

Um, whens the last time you did some basic maintanence besides oil change?

 

Kimbers are sweet. But, let's see...I pulled the plugs about a week ago to check em out. They looked pretty good so i just wire brushed em and put em back in. Cleaned out the butterfly valve "area" of the TB with a clean cloth. Changed the air filter about 3 months ago.

 

Is it spitting any codes?

If not maybe startwith new plugs. I know I have, without knowing it, cracked the porcelain ofa spark plug checking em out once on my phuckus. The car started out doing what you saidand it wasnt spitting codes, nothing. It had me and my father who is a mechanic stumped because it had new filters, air and fuel, new plugs, sufficient fuel pressure all the above. Ended up taking it to a stealership and they tolded me it was ahairline cracked plug, but you couldnt visibly see it. So I brought it home and changed the plugs out myself, and it ran awesome!

Yes Yes, this Kimber is my baby, sweet shooting little 45, well big 45 haha

 

could it be a bad fuel pump?

 

You read my mind silver, I wouldn't just look at the plugs, make sure you take a peek at everything that the fuel flows through, maybe you'll get lucky and see it leaking from somewhere, did u check the fuel lines?

 

Sorry the damn thing wouldn't let me post!! So check all the fuel lines as well...got it. Anything else, or advice?

 

Park it in a clean dry spot, in a few hours look for damp spots or puddles under it, might help you localize a leak.

 

sorry to hijack your thread bud, but altair thats a pretty killer new sig, make it yourself?

 

Thanks, made it last night. It didn't come out quite how I wanted but I'm still learning Photoshop (probably always will be).
