Fuel rail was replaced as a precaution when the recall was issued for this problem. Dealer changed the fuel rail and o-rings and tested for leaks in injector o-rings and found no problems. Since the correction there has been a noticeable gas smell entering the cabin area when fan is on and engine is running. Gas smell is apparent surrounding the injector area when parked. Dealer is inspecting problem but all indications point to the notorious leaky fuel injection system.
Consumer received the federal safety agency recall 98v184000/ manufacturer's recall 790. Took vehicle in to be serviced. Vehicle was leaking fuel intermittently on to engine. Problem didn't exist until recall repairs were performed. Dealer could fix it. But manufacturer wouldn't give authorization to fix it because at the time dealer didn't see it leak.
Consumer smelled fuel inside vehicle, mechanic found fuel rail to be replaced.
The quick connect/disconnect that connects the fuel lines to the fuel rail is not holding and is allowing raw gas to leak into the engine compartment, gas fumes can be smelled inside the car, dealer says the only fix is to replace fuel line between fuel filter and fuel rail, I susspect that the quick connect idea is not a good choice for fuel system components since the connector is plastic and gasoline would tend to deteriorate the plastic over time and replacing these fuel lines is a costly $$$ proposition, I will replace the faulty fuel line sections with standard high pressure neoprene/rubber fuel line which should work quite well.
Tensioner failed and water pump seized. Nlm

Falvey's motors of norwich, ct performed recall 790 on my car in april 1999. For the next year, the car smelled of gas and ran rough. I reported the problem to falvey's and they said the coil pack and catalytic converter were bad. I spent the money and replaced both, but the problem persisted. After a year, they finally diagnosed a fuel leak from the fuel rail/injector area. They would look into it further except at my expense. I looked at it myself and found old gasket material still on the fuel rail they installed, which caused fuel to constantly spill onto the engine. They refused the costs of repairs.
