check the right side look for your fuel regulator these usually hit the exhaust and start melting platic which starts the smell of gas i had a friend with a 02 we replaced the hose and put clamps on it and it runs ok no gas smell
I don't see a video after this one...what happened with the Taurus? I have an 2002 Taurus SES and it rides fine but it's starting to take a long time to start and I also smell gas sometimes. Also when I am trying to pick up speed quickly once it gets around 50-60 mph it MAY jerk and hesitate; once I let off the acc and press it again, it's like it never jerked. What do you think
@qwertywrangler Fine I'll take it in tomorrow. I'm a Ford guy myself, I know all too well the problems of these things. But $300 for a '96 Jimmy with 90,000 miles, I can't really complain. There is nothing else wrong with it. I still prefer my F-250 though.
@supersnot4 It's a fucking '96 Jimmy! Good luck getting that light to turn off. I run a salvage yard, and I take in 2-5 a day, from people tired of paying through the nose to be OBD compliant. This dude's issue turned out to be fuel related. And yes, $80? Get off yer arse, and FIX IT YO!!! It's only money.
@qwertywrangler A faulty catalytic converter will almost always set off a check engine light. I have one on in my '96 GMC Jimmy right now. $80 for a new one, I need to stop procrastinating and get that fixed already.
@BeeABaw Wow, I've never heard of anything other than a diesel running worse on higher octane, unless it's running on racing fuel. 93 is pretty far from 85 though. Glad it was a stupid simply fix!

@supersnot4 It will not set off the check engine light in almost any case.
