Hey guys, okay so like the subject of this forum suggests, I was driving home the other night and suddenly my car started to hesitate, the check engine light started flashing, and I started smelling fuel. It runs pretty rough now. Good thing I was near my house so I shut it off and its parked. Ill be scanning it and further diagnosing it later tonight but figured I'd put up a post. I'm thinking maybe a faulty fuel injector but we'll see soon. The car is NOT tuned but will be veryyy soon. My brother thinks that could be an issue because of the other mods (downpipes, cai, cat-back) idk.

Ill let you guys know!

Any codes? Does sound like a stuck injector.

Please do not drive the car at all.  A leaky injector will quickly destroy your cats, and may not be covered if aftermarket.  Do you still have warranty?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'm scanning it now
I've had the dp & exhaust for a few months now. They are non-catted

At least you don't have to worry about ruining you cats if it is a stuck injector.

What did your scan show?  I assume you smelled gas because you don't have cats. Just make sure it's not a fuel leak in one of the lines.
