[DML] Exhaust smells like gasoline?

[Jeff Wiltzius <wiltzius@xxxx>]

Hello fellow DMLers!

I've been reading the archives (yes reading the entire archives) and 
I'm only up to Apr '96 so if the answer to my question is in there 
forgive me.

When I take my car for a spin and then pull it into the garage- my 
entire garage stinks of raw gasoline for a day! There is no gasoline 
leak that I can see. Someone in the archives had a simlar problem and 
was recommended to look into replacing his O2 sensor. A little more 
info may help- the car has ALWAYS had this smell since I've owned it 
(last August). It idles quite rough (never stalls though) and in 
general feels underpowered (but then again I'm not sure what a 
normally operating DeLorean is supposed to drive like). To me, it 
seems like the engine is getting too much fuel and not enough air to 
explode correctly in the cylinders.

I have not had a mechanic look at this yet- wanted to have some 
suggestion to pass onto him when I do. Is this something that I would 
be best having a Bosch-savvy mechanic looking at?

Thanks for your responses and advice in advance,
Jeff Wiltzius
