i have a problem with my 94' Q, what happened is the check engine light came on an it is running terribly, serious misfire, but prior to this it was a gas smell as i was coming home with the car an the car was parked for a few hours an as i got in the car to go somewhere and that when the CEL came on an the car started missing. does this sound like a coil pack or injector problem or both an how do i correct this. p.s. i check this site for previous post on this topic but did not find anything

To check the ECU's codes go here: http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=60332

I would see what pops up

Then I would think you have to do the under plenum hoses because I take it its cold over there by now or when ever its cold you smell gas right?

I would also get the service history from one of the nearby Infiniti dealers and see whats been don on the car.

But it might be a leaky O ring on one of the injectors, Hope its an easy one. Or it could be the under plenum hoses.

Either way good luck and Welcome to NICO.

Any maintenance history?

The VH45DE usually does not perform this way unless negelected or abused.
