Well your car is a fuel injected engine which means than there is a different set of problems.You still could have something as simple as a bad fuel cap or a clogged vapor return line to the fuel tank.A fuel injected car is really never supposed to "flood" as the computer controls the amount of fuel allowed into the engine via the fuel injectors.You could have a fuel injector seal bad which is allowing fuel to seep out and air to seep in causing the "bogging' effect when you press on the gas.If after running it,you pull the spark plugs and they seem very "wet" with fuel,then you could have a computer problem which is allowing more fuel than is needed through the injectors.Outside of the few visual checks for leaks and or hose dry rotting,if you are not having any check engine lights coming on,then you may have to have it checked by someone with a computer reader.Try and narrow down where the fuel smell is coming from if you can.The engine or the rear of the car.If it is from the rear,replace the gas cap.If it is front the engine,look for any visible signs of fuel,then check the plugs.

Remember, they don't hire rocket scientists at Auto Zone, ask your local dealership for the right part and then purchase the part at another auto store.

My jag smells like as if it was flooding when i try to start it, when it does start it idles fine but as soon as I rev it up it bogs out, please help me as i really can`t afford to take it to a mechanic,...

Well first off what year and kind of Jag is it?That will make a difference on what might be the problem.If it is a carbureted model, it sounds like you either have a simple fuel line leak going to the carb so when your car sits fuel drips out and gives you the gas smell and then sucks air when you rev it up.If there is no line leak,sounds like your float in the carb is sticking open and simply flooding the carbs with gas,hence the smell and the bogging out at rpm.You would need a carb rebuild kit with float to fix that problem.That way you have gaskets and floats to fix your carb.

Won't start

the pressure in your fuel system may be too high causing the injectors to flood the cylinders. it could also possible be the security safety lock, not sure if that year had it. you may also need to adjust the timing or check spark plugs.

hope this helps

Fuel Stench

Some gas may be draining into the water line and if the line is not going out the trunk then it may be drippijng into your trunk. also check to see if you cap is fitting correctly,,
i get a gass smell ever once and awhile,,but mostly no smell at all.
i hope this may help...
