#56 of 85 Fuel Leak, Engine Compartment by audioflirt Jun 03, 2007 (7:05 am)
My 1995 Sev. STS has a strong fuel odor in the passenger cabin. Instinct told me fuel leak, but never found evidence of this. Until it was parked in a drive way with a slight grade (about 25% angle). I've backed the car in this same driveway many times no odor, no dripping. Parked head first for about 3-4 hrs, went to start it and experienced what could best be described as "out of gas" started real hard. Once it was running, was almost overwhelmed w/ fuel odor, backed out and for the first time saw a wet spot in the driveway, hopped out to check what it was and "bingo" my fuel leak. Turned around backed the car in same driveway overnight, next morning no odor, no dripping. Any thoughts, Anybody..? (Fuel Rail on this year has a recall, is this evidence of this..?)

So in the future you whil get problems whit emissions and catalysator. But I am courious to see your solution, in one of the bypass piping.

Replying to: audioflirt (Jun 03, 2007 7:05 am) I have a 1996 with the same issue, except I have never seen any fuel. I would think a fuel rail leak, with be very small, and never make it to the ground. You can lift the plenum (cover) by removing four 1/2 inch nuts, and check for smells, or fuel from the fuel rail. If your fuel rail is nylon, the recall has not been performed.

#61 of 85 99 STS by mantag Jul 16, 2007 (8:38 am)
Hello all. Have a 99 STS - Big Red as I call it. 71000k.   I keep hearing about the dreaded "Service Ride Control" message in the info area on dash. I have not have this pop up yet, but does anyone know if this message is tied to when a certain number of miles is driven or is it by time or when there is a problem with the ride control? Thanks.

Replying to: dyates773 (May 30, 2007 11:46 am) I have a 96 STS with 160,000 miles and have been experiencing the same problem. A lot work just short of a tear down has been performed. the only thing left would be the head gaskets, and I'm not going that deep. could you explain which bypass line you tapped into, supply or return and possibly post a photo or two ? You might have something here with the pressure blow off.
