hi all ive noticed that while the car is running i can smell rich fuel at the rear of the car and under bonnet.
i ahve noticed that the exhaust manifold has a crack in it which needs replacing .
Just wondered if anything else could be at fault while im under the bonnet
many thanks mick

cracked exhaust mani will make the lambda sensor go full rich

Check for fuel leaks first

Mine was running rich when the wires to the lambda where ripped of, so either that, or the lambda could be broken.. It can also be something simple as a cloged airfilter
