so i finally got fed up with trying to figure out my gas leak issue on my 89 SE so im taking the car to the shop monday and having my mechanic figure it out...hard to find issue when help is a PITA to find here...hopefully my mechanic doesnt try to ram me in the **** on fixing it...well if he finds it EXACTLY ill see if its something i can fix my damn self lol plus my GF's 95 GXE is going to the shop also to figure out here damn shift issue of going into 3rd-5th and reverse but no damn 1st or 2nd....both of my Maxima's in the shop at the same time...GOD THIS IS ANNOYING ME lol

 

I know how ya feel about the "finding help here" thing. That's why a lot of us 'old school' org-y members don't come here as often as we used to.. But definately good luck on getting your gas leak figured out. Let a brotha know what you find out.

 

Yah but at least you can drive yours a little. Mines been in the shop for nearly a month just to install a transmission! My gosh hopefully I wont have to replace the tranny again, but if If I do I will buy the necessary tools to do it myself. Im afraid to let it go to the shop for the heater core now! It may take a month to do that. Never going back to that shop again.

 

my mechanic had mines done in 4 days and only charged 180 to install lol

 

I feel blessed to have a mechanic friend who enjoys working on cars and doesn't mind me mingling around on my car in the shop while he is on the clock. Life is glorious with a lift and a $7000 tool box, especially when you are doing a 5spd swap, but that is postponed unfortunately........

 

Did you check you fuel rails. The rubber hoses. Sometimes you could have like a hair line crack. When the car warms up it closes up. That was my problem in the past. Only leaked when turned on till it warmed up.

 

nah got to annoyed with it when i was checkin over things trying to figure it out...but mine stays dripping gas when the cars on...whether its warmed up or not lol i normally wouldnt care too much bout it...but its leaking onto my exhaust piping and burnin off as soon as thats hot and i hate the smell of burnt gas lol

 

mines doesnt really mind me messing with it while hes working on it...as long as its not affecting his work...but with 2 weeks before i head down to florida and ive gotta drive this car...i need it to be burning gas like its supposed to...a full tank right now lasts me maybe a week at most and thats just to and from work...thats not includin around town driving...s**t at that rate it'll take me 3-4 fill ups to make it to daytona beach florida when at most 2 lol
