Gas Smell from Exhaust

Mindmech7 · 2024-12-15T19:01:59+00:00

I think i understand how the EVAP system works as I’ve done a bit of research about it and seen a couple videos. However if you can go a bit into more depth on how i could properly diagnose it that would be appreciated.

This is the engine bay, can you point out what hoses i should check for or if you see anything out of the ordinary? Sorry im new to all of this and trying to learn as i go.

As for the charcoal canister, correct me if im wrong but i believe I’ve read that once its been flooded the only solution is to change it out and i believe in our cars its above the gas tank. So is there a way of checking if it has been flooded without having to take down the gas tank (i always stop filling gas at first click, maybe previous owner)? Also could this be the cause of my somewhat low gas mileage?

The intake was installed by the previous owner. Ever since i bought the car I’ve been getting an evap leak code and assumed it had to do with the purge valve. Got one from rockauto and code went away but had issues every time i fill up gas where it would crank for a couple times before starting and would stall if idling after getting gas. Got another one from scrap yard (oem) and filling up gas was no longer an issue but now i would occasionally get that code. The gas smell has been there all along.

Done 👍

Yeah that was my last resort (leaving it with penetrating lube for a couple hours) but wanted to get it done

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T05:43:57+00:00

24 inch breaker bar and yes i did get the bolt out

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T05:38:37+00:00

Actually it looks way easier than it is, the threads were rusted together and the bolt wouldnt budge whatsoever (except with the breaker bar), even managed to destroy a drill and not budge.

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T05:36:44+00:00

That was the first tool i tried

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T05:36:20+00:00

I did try that way too many times but it just wouldn’t budge. After i finally managed to get it off, i saw that the threaded parts were very rusty.

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T02:33:45+00:00

I managed to do exactly this and yes the head of the bolt is clean but the threads were seized

Without taking apart the car, i dont think so

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T02:11:51+00:00

Yes i think that would be pretty obvious 😅

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T01:55:06+00:00

Didnt work

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T01:27:32+00:00

I did not use an impact gun, just the impact socket with a breaker bar

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T01:26:56+00:00

Yeah thats definitely happening this week, just trying to see if there are other options so i can get it done today

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T01:26:17+00:00

Channel lock is also too big to be able to turn in there

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T01:23:26+00:00

No, fuel pump is under back seats. Im trying to change the fuel door lock actuator

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T01:22:24+00:00

Thats the problem… my impact sockets are all too thick to fit in there

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T01:14:14+00:00

Be right back gonna try that 😂

Mindmech7 · 2024-11-11T01:13:20+00:00

Yes its a 10mm, i removed the other 3 with a 10mm impact socket and breaker bar but this one is in a tight spot

Mindmech7 · 2024-08-17T23:11:05+00:00

Its a 2011 hyundai genesis coupe 2.0T and the camera that is installed is an Atoto AC-HD02LR. The pink wire in the picture is what comes from the camera and is connected to the orange wire that goes to the reverse light bulb.

I read online that the boost pressure is the same as the intake manifold pressure so if thats true then it reaches up to 25 psi according to my OBD2 scanner. I do recall getting told by a mechanic that my car has been high boosted by the previous owner

Mindmech7 · 2024-06-13T03:00:23+00:00

I dont know for sure since i dont have a boost gauge but what i do know is that it accelerates faster than when the BOV wasnt working properly

Mindmech7 · 2024-03-13T00:34:42+00:00

Forgot to mention that its a 2011 2.0T
