I searched, but couldn't find any posts to help me. Anyway, it takes about 10 seconds or so for the sho to start. It sounds like it wants to start. After it starts I can smell fuel from the exhaust....almost like leaky injectors. Also, the CEL comes on and I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it running. I can't figure the codes out. I read how to do it on a couple sites, but I am use to 2 digit codes from different cars. I can get the codes to flash, but I am too stupid to read them. I am new to the sho! Also, the previous owner put a cone filter on the MAF so there is no airbox. I saw two plugs unhooked where the airbox use to be so I am assuming there are two sensors on the airbox. With these two sensors unhooked will that be part of my problem? If I can just figure out how to decipher the codes, it will be easy. Anybody know what my problem might be? Also, If anybody is in the Lancaster, Pa area and wouldn't mind reading my codes, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
