I have searched!!!!!! But i wanted to find any other opinions on what may be occuring. Here are the symptoms. Car was bogging out at idle when i turned off the a/c unit. Found spark plug wire loose (#4) ... reconnected. Still haveing problems with idling. Checked plugs wires again... #4 loose again. Replaced wires(cheepos) , plugs (bosch +4) distributer cap and rotor (el cheepo), O2 Sensor (bosch universal). Now after 3 weeks, i smell strong fumes on the driver side (outside) of my car smelling like gas. Leaking only condensation. Also now my car will lag especially while on cruise control @ 45 mph (being followed by cops) it felt like it should down shift but didnt. Noerror codes on ecu (55). Just recently (past 600 miles) put 3 quarts of SAE 50 valvaline VR1 and 1 Quart of lucas oil stabalizer + 1 K&N oil filter. Previous to that i flushed engine completly. My question is that what could be causing the smell of gas when there are no apparent leaks under my car or in my engine bay. i can only see the heat under my car (easily mistaken for vapors). Also what kind of oil to use i have 110,000 miles on my engine and the flush showed no oil leaks. Also after idling for a while i hear a noisy *** lifter.

This looks like a thread that you should post in the nissan mechanics forum. It's at the very bottom on the forum list on the left. NISTECH is a great help..

You could also search that forum too. I'm sure you could find something there. Welcome to NICO

Sometimes its hard to pinpoint where gas smells are coming from exactly.. 240's are know however for leaky injectors.. Just see if any of the rubber on injectors looks darker than the other.. Fuel lines??
