    i had a problem before with my oil being overfull and smelling like gas, i checked injectors and none are leaking, vacuum line to fpr was cracked, figured that fixed it but it did it again, big surprise. wth could the problem be? im getting real sick of it.

    Just because it is not leaking into the vac line does not mean it is good. Whats your fuel pressure with the vac line on and with it off?

    Use a tire gauge. Not the best, but it works.

    and also, just recently it will sometimes cut out like its running out of fuel or something, usually when i drive it somewhere come back to it, it will start and idle perfect, put it in gear, give it gas and it will stumble and pick back up and run fine from then on out, and sometimes it will run like its cammed up at a stoplight, not sure if its related or not.

    sounds like a fpr or a sticky egr, also could be a bad maf.

    put gauge on, turned the key on it read about 42 and bled off, i started it and it went to 50 pulled the vac line off and went to 60, i tried a couple more times and couldnt get it to bleed off again, maybe a injector is bad?

    I think you've got a bad misfire. This could be the "cammed" sensationyiure getting. My zzp wires were junk, I went back to stockers because I was tired of chasing misfires all over the engine.

    youre running super duper ultra rich and youre getting blowby in the wrong direction. gas is mixing into the oil in the crank case. there is no other way that there would be gas in the oil. i dont even know how your car is running like that.

    Sounds like your getting fuel back through the evap purge valve.You probably have a bad charcoal canister or purge valve and fuel is getting sucked when the engine pulls vaccuum.

    hmm i do have a evap flow when none purge code or something like that. maybe your right what could i do there? any idea how to test and see whats making it throw the code and what to replace, charcoal canister i changed because it was smashed when i bought the car wrecked but it is a used one. and about my problem hesitating and idling rough i decided to unplug the egr and drive it to work today and it ran perfect didnt do it once so it must have been the egr sticking open sometimes, could that also make it rich enough to get fuel in oil?
