after start car smell gas why?
Does it have a Carb.? Choke sticking and running rich could be your throttle posioning sencer is starting to go drive safe
Possibly the Head Gasket is blown.
I would start with checking the O2 sensor. It sends a signal to the computer how lean or rich to make the fuel mixture when starting.
The issue may be with the fuel pump. There may also be a problem with the oxygen censor not allowing enough air flow.
Had same problem with My 91 Lumina APV. Changed Starter Relay. Haven't had any problems sence.
Check the fuel pressure regulator.
The starting point would be the equator. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
One thing could be an over used belt or a leak of antifreeze
The Lumina Foundation helps students enroll and graduate from college. They do this with educational and financial support. They are a privately run corporation.
It could be like mine was, the cadilatic (not sure on the spelling) converter was plugged. Once fully plugged my car had no pick up what so ever but on the way there. It would run rough at times, go slow, pick up speed, then all of a sudden run perfect then crappy again. You could also sometimes smell a rotten egg smell. All they did was cut it off at Midas for 70 bucks and it ran fine.
Your 1992 Chevy Lumina will run with a bad 02 sensor. The engine will seem to be sluggish and the fuel mileage will go down.
Will idle rough and run rough at a steady speed, but run faily well under acceleration.
