I have a 93 j30t at the beginning of the week i tried to start my j30 it cranked for a split second and turned as if it wasnt getting gas. I left it for a few hours tried again samething. so i called my guy and asked he said maybe the fuel pump filter or relay. i have brought all three in a just in case issue. (i'm waiting on the parts now.) Well, yesterday i went out and it cranked right up like it never had a problem. :wtf2: I drove it around the corner and parked. then I seen a small spot on ground (between the front tires under hood) move car to see it was my car same issue. Smelled it it wsa Gas. So i at the point of what do i do now. I've been hearing FPR maybe problem PLZ PLZ Help

:welcome: To Nico !!!
Very common for the old rubber lines to leak in cold weather.
All hose clamps MUST be tightened !
Check this sticky out.

Yes definitely the rubber hoses leaking from the cold try tightening the clamps for cheaper fix they tend to come loose from motor vibration

NICO saves the day yet again! I began having a fuel smell recently. Tightened the clamps and it's all good now! These cars are insane... every month something needs tightening/replacing/cleaning depending on the weather or the position of the moon.

lol Actually the fuel hoses leak when cold because they are old. :)
Replace them and your good for several years.
