OK somethings wrong with my jdm b16. Its burning a little rich i can smell the fuel in the car when its at a stop, or when someones driving behind me they say they can smell the gas. Oh another things is im only getting about 10 miles to a gallon. Any ideas?

a list of things to check that may be the problem:
plugs
plug wires
distributor cap
rotor
o2 sensor
change oil
fuel injector might be stuck open
you mistakenly bought a 454 v8 instead of a b16

Look under your back seat. he fuel pump is under there along with a couple fuel lines. Make sure nothing is leaking, it happened to me before.

that sucks man. The same thing is happening to me, but i'm not getting that shitty amount of miles per gallon lol. I know why mine is running rich and that's because i fucked my o2 sensor up. Since i installed my 4-1 header, the o2 sensor hits the little bracket on the crossmember and ruined it.
