Okay, so this morning I took it to my mechanic and he did a fuel pressure test on it.
Engine off spec 33-40: mine was 39
Engine on spec 23-30: mine was 29
He assured me that these numbers were fine for the car. I am trying to link this problem to another problem. If some of you remember my problem about hot restarts. So it turns out its not a fuel pump problem. He said that I could be running rich and that the fuel is dumping because of the mixture, which could cause the slight smell of gas. OR there could be a tiny leak, which he is going to check out next week for me.
In the mean time, I am going to search around and try and replace my MAF. It could be acting up. Sensor might be overheating, causing my rough starts and heavy breathing that the car has on hot starts.
Anyone have any input?
