    Hello, I own a 97 GTP Grand Prix, and I am smelling gas fumes when I turn on the air conditioner. Any ideas where to start on a diagnosis? Thanks!

    Yes, sorry I posted it 2wice because I was unsure what thread to start it in. I did take it to the shop and it was leaking out of the injectors. Gas was sitting around the injectors, and was just accumulating in a hurry....Sorry about posting in the wrong section, I was just frantic when I smelt the gas. I was worried that it was gonna catch fire, so I got it worked on. Thanks guys!

    I've been smelling gas too, guess I need to check it for leaks around the injectors.

    Well I looked didn't see any leaks ....

    Check the connections above your supercharger. Thats most likely where it is coming from.

    It was the gas cap. I was putting gas in and noticed that the area where its supposed to seal was kinda dull looking and it wasn't sealing. Got a new cap no smell !
