Re: 2007 Precedent Gas Engine
CP241 - Thank you for the advice. I thought I could smell gas in my oil. Although not very high, the oil seems very fluid. It looks diluted. The oil on the dipstick does not ignite so I guess there is not that much fuel in there if any (trick given to me by a mechanic friend lol)
I was looking at the price of pumps to see if it was worth opening and cleaning vs replacing if it gets to that.
It is winter here and I bought the car in very cold weather after being stored for months and with a weak battery. Needless to say that the test drive was not ideal. It was hard to start and once started and driving, it had mild backfires (more like a sneeze) when easing off on the gas pedal. Exhaust seems to smell a bit. I am hoping everything will be OK and that all this was related to cold weather.
I do see some debris at the bottom of the tank which makes me consider a carb cleanup.
