litlle problem my engine light came on couple weeks ago for about half day until i took it on the highway than it shut off now couple days ago i just changed my oil and i noticed it had a strong smell of gasoline in it now today all of a sudden my light came back on again and its to late to go to the dealer ive also noticed both time when these lights came on i was just cruising around the street the thing is i normally drive hard and **** never happens only when i cruise it so just would like to know if it could be the gas in the oil is causing the light to come on or if i have a major problem

 

some causes for gas smell in your oil:
flooding the engine, running extremely rich.....or something you really dont want..... blowby.....if so your about to say goodbye to some piston rings......

 

well i dont have a cel but i am pretty sure i sense gas in my oil as well does that mean i might have a problem. Should i go to the dealer and get it checked?

 

how does a fuel injection flood out?

 

It can be done.
if your cranking and it doesnt start for a long period you can flood them.

ECMs have a built in feature specifically to combat a flooded engine. where you put the pedal to the floor to cut fuel until you release your foot off it.

 

you command to much fuel.

blow by would cause other issues and it would be an almost incessant issue....

i'm betting your just overly rich or at the start of blow-by.....neither are good.

 

thanks but my motor is only has 42000km on it but i do drive it hard i mean like shfting at 4000-4500 while half way down the pedal so my mods are ss/sc manifold,ss/sc downpipe,and vibrant catback and i change my oil evrey 5000km with mobile 1 so could this still mean i might have blowby or more just running rich

 

miles and driveing style have little to do with this....it could just be a defect from the factory.

you could have 10miles or 100,000miles and have this happen.

 

a leaking injector could also be a cause, find out what the DTC is

 

alright thanks
