I have a 2000 Mazda Protege ES 1.8L and I'm getting pretty strong gas fumes, but I can't seem to find any leaks. The fumes come and go, and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. Sometimes, you can't smell a thing. Other times you have to keep the windows shut and the air on recirculate so you don't get a headache.
The source seems to be somewhere the engine compartment. I traced the gas line into the engine compartment and followed it all the way to the fuel rail, but no visual leaks. I've tried sniffing around to find the source of the fumes, but with all of the air movement it's almost impossible.
Could it be something with the EGR or possibly a bad vapor canister? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
