    We'll have to see about a party!! I've also read some threads that suggest the intake manifold gasket could be the cause. Any thoughts or should I concentrate on the FPR?

    Thanks

    intake manifold gasket could possibly be contributing. Usually if its bad enough to cause symptoms, you see a check engine light. easy way to test is to spray carb cleaner or starter fluid in the area around the gaskets with the engine idling, if the rpms change, youve got a problem!

    I'll second Eric on this one. I don't think that a fuel smell would be associated with the manifold gasket. That would be a sucky leak where the FPR could be a spitty leak. I love using technical jargon (Learnt it from Brotha Dub).
