Hey guys I just want to start by saying thank you. There are so many helpful threads and answers on this site that have helped with many of my questions and concerns. I'm new to owning an rx8 so bear with me if I seem to be a bit of a noob.
So I got my car used about 3 months ago (04 6MT 36k miles). Since I've gotten the car it's been running fine although a few weeks ago I had changed 2 ignition coils as they were causing misfires, stalling, and a CEL. After the change of coils my car has had faster starts, smoother idling and overall seemed more healthy. Being used, I'm unsure of previous maintenance such as change of plugs, coils etc.
Fast forward a couple of weeks to last week from now and I've been having an issue. about 70% of the time I start my car there is a very strong smell of gas on the outside only(if windows are up I don't smell it). As soon as I move the car/get it up to temp however the smell goes away. It isn't there when I arrive to whatever destination I may be going or while idling in traffic. I've checked the ground and there are no apparent leaking fluids although I haven't gone as far as inspect actual gas lines themselves. Car still runs fine, the smell is the only problem so far and only on start up. Any ideas?
