I looked all the fuel system up and down and didn't find anything unusual and leaking. I cleaned the following:



IAC

Throttle Body

Changed the Air Filter (K&N FIPK)

Techron Fuel Additive

Clean the Battery Terminals



The ST runs and idles much better. I don't smell fuel anymore but 2 things the battery idoit gauge was really low before the cleaning now its dead center. The second thing is the idle is around 600-700 then 500. Big difference. Kudos to those who posted those projects and Cayman, RichardL, Todd Z, and any others I missed for the recommendations........

Glad it is running better....



Should change the fuel filter if you did not already..



IT is a good group group of people, 99.9 % of them mean no harm and allways try to help whenever possible..
