As many of you are aware I had a cold starting issue, which resulted in a new airflow meter.
Although the car starts well, runs well and performance is as good as ever, I have this niggling issue that has raised its head in the last few weeks
There is a definite fuel vapour smell in the boot when opened and I'm pretty sure my fuel consumption is not good.
In the boot I have the fuel lines including Ryco Z200 fuel filter, but can't detect any fuel leaks. I do have an intermittent whining noise (previously raised) from the fuel pump, but does come and go (not present at the moment).
My fuel consumption is probably in the order of 400 to 450 km per tank (6 to 7 km per litre of fuel) with an 302EFI motor.
I have no vapour smells from the engine - only in the boot.
When I had the airflow issue fixed, the computer did show that the oxygen sensors were pretty carboned up so that may be part of the issue.
Also the car is running slighty rich (purely based upon the exhaust)
Any suggestions re: the smell / fuel consumption
