WEIRD SMELL - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #54182 4 posts Started by DeW_H0e_GT
it happened lately when i jus give it gas it has this smell that stings my eyes whenever i go pass 55...is it the exhaust leaking? teh smell is kinda like somethings burning....im in dire need of changing out the fuel filter but do u think thats causing the smell? any help be great....
Check your charcoal canister. That filters out the fumes from your tank and if it doesn't work, you could be getting fumes in. Running rich and having an exhaust leak can cause you that, also. Happened to me in my Supra when the sub-par downpipe gasket the previous owner installed sprung a leak. It stung so bad, I couldn't open my eyes for seconds at a time.
