Exhaust smell in passenger compartment
Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2013 9:17 am
Hi there,
I am new to this site and I hope you will forgive my naivete but I have a question that I hope someone can answer.
I have a 87 GT 5-speed and when I drive it (esp. if the windows are cracked open) I get a strong smell of exhaust into the passenger compartment.
The car runs great but it does sound like it has a hole in the muffler when you are hitting the gas.
I have read about the manifold problems that Fieros are notorious for and was wondering if this is one of the side effects that occur if your car has this issue?
Also, if I continue to drive it and it is a manifold problem, will I be doing some damage to the vehicle?
Again, I apologize if I sound dumb or ill-informed. I wanted to ask my question to people who really know everything there is to know about this car and figured that is a great place to start.
Thank you
