I got a problem whenever I drive my car and then park it it smells like gas really bad only on the outside what do you guys think is wrong?

 

Mos likely cause is an animal ate through or road debris damaged a part of your EVAP system.

You need to find the source, fuel VAPOR is what ignities.............

 

i got under the car to look and nothing was leaking but i could smell it

bump

 

are you sure your not running rich or anything like that?

 

yea im not running rich

 

If you can smell it theres a leak, not necessarily a liquid leak, like I said most likely cause is a damaged vapor line.

 

i found the problem there is a crack on the top of the fuel pump housing i had to drop the tank

 

yea my **** runs smells like gas also, but i have straight pipes

 

I have noticed mine has just started smelling like gas lately. You found a crack at the top of your fuel pump housing? Did you fix it? Did it work?

 

If youre car has california emissions, the cracked pump may be covered for 150,000 miles.

 

Do you think this would be covered under my powertrain 60,000, I have an extended but would rather not pay the deductible. Sorry if I jacked this thread, similar problem want to try to get resolved.

 

No, the fuel pump is not covered under the powertrain warranty.

 

Yes it is.

2006's dont have the 5/100 warranty, they have the 5/60 which is a completely different policy, and to my knowledge and in the quick searches I did, Ive found no mention of the fuel pump being covered under the Cobalt 5/60 Powertrain. It would be great for these guys if it is though, but I dont wanna give out false hope.

 

i have 98,xxx miles, i had to get a whole new pump

 

well i have the extended.... i guess if i go to the selling dealer they will waive the 100 dollar deductible.... So mine will be free.. But thanks for the info guys

 

It was the throttle body housing, the dealer is fixing it and should be good as new.. Funny thing is I have 36000 miles... Quick to go!
