thanks in advance

 

is it still under warranty? you could have honda check it out..

 

Check and see if you can hear an exhaust leak. That could be it...??

 

Maybe you need a tune up........or maybe you got a fuel leak somewhere........or maybe your nose is playing tricks on you...naw but get it checked. possibly one cylinder is not firing so the fuel smell is coming from there.

 

to check for an exhaust leak:

1. Start car

2. Grab an old rag.

3. Cover the muffler tip with the old rag

4. Listen closely for and exhaust leak, air leaking from elsewhere

5. take to an exhaust shop for minor repairs.
