On my 98 Eclipse GST (turbo). I put this car together with a new head gasket a few miles ago and have driven it little. Runs good but smells like a two stroke on startup and idle. Guessing it’s running rich but I don’t have a wide band sensor yet (buying soon).
The car has nearly perfect compression so I’m not worried about rings. I have a blue toof dongle and the o2 sensors are reading as they should. Car still has the stock cat. Isn’t smoking either. I’ve sealed up all of the boost leaks too. No CELs.
When I open the oil cap and get a whiff it smells strongly of gas. Dipstick smells like gas as well.
I’m out of thoughts here. Car also takes around 4-5 cranks to start. Could this be a faulty regulator bleeding down into the cylinders and washing into the oil? Bad injector? Thoughts are to change injectors and regulator with spares I have and change oil. Go from there. Any other things I could be missing? I don’t want to just be a parts changer.
