I found out that my 2001 blazer had no gasket in it replace them but still smelling gas and it making noise what ekse could it be I need help

If you are smelling gas it is because you are getting excess fuel somewhere
Most likely it is the fuel injection unit or the fuel pressure regulator inside the intake plenium on top of the motor there is a shrader valve on top on drivers side of air intake on the fuel lines have someone pressure test the fuel pressure when you turn the key on and off three or more times to prime the pressure then turn the key off and watch the gauge while priming pressure the pressure should be 60 psi then after priming pressure and turning key off pressure should drop to 55psi and hold that pressure for 5 minutes minimum if it does not hold that pressure and starts dropping to zero your fuel injection unit and pressure regulator are leaking and dumping excess gas into the air intake plenium and it is easier to replace the injection unit and the pressure regulator as you can buy them cheaper combined a new injection unit comes with the new fuel pressure regulator
And if they are leaking gasoline after a failed pressure test that is why you are smelling gasoline
Have it pressure tested right away as if this indeed is the cause the excess fuel could combust at one point and cause a lot more damage
A pressure tester can be purchased at advanced auto for around 35 or any reputable garage can pressure test it in front of you in 5 minutes it's easy

My a4 just lost power as if the turbo isnt kicking in, does anyone no what it could be

The use of contaminated gasoline or gasoline with a low content of deposit control additives may result in one or more of the following conditions:
^ Excessive accumulation of deposits on intake valves, intake manifold, fuel injectors and combustion chambers. ^ Engine runs rough after cold start. ^ Excessive engine cranking time. ^ Hesitations while driving. ^ Rough engine idle. ^ Reduced engine performance. ^ Poor fuel economy. Conditions may be severe enough to illuminate the MIL in conjunction with storage in the ECM data memory of DTCs for misfire (example: P0300, P030x) and / or lean fuel system (example: P0171, P0174, P1128, P1130, P1136, P1138).
Technical Background
^ Condition may be caused by use of contaminated gasoline. ^ Condition may be caused by use of gasoline with a low content of deposit control additives. Production Solution
Not applicable.
Service
If use of contaminated gasoline is suspected:
Consider advising the customer to change gasoline source (brand/gas station). Contaminated gasoline may exhibit one or more of the following characteristics:
^ May have unique color and odor. ^ May contain undissolved water. ^ May contain sediments and suspended matter. ^ May appear cloudy and (after settling) may show signs of separation. Repair:
Gasoline additive G 001 700 03 or G 001770 A2 can be used for removal of existing carbon deposits from:
^ MPI engine ^ Injectors. ^ Combustion chambers. ^ Intake valves. ^ FSI engine ^ Injectors. ^ Combustion chambers. Tip: For removal of carbon deposits from intake valves of FSI engines, refer to TSB 2019948.
Mix the additive with gasoline directly in the full fuel tank following the mix ratio. For example, 60 ml per 30 liters gasoline, 150 ml per 20 gallons of gasoline.

I have a gmc 1500 5.7 1/2 ton truck after sitting overnight its hard starting, will crank over after several attemps will start. after running no starting problems. thanks

The check valve in the fuel pump may be bad, allowing the gasoline to return to the tank, causing excess cranking to get fuel back to the motor to start.

A strong gasoline smell but no appearent leak, what can be the cause?

fuel systems have a vent or a purge solinoid which will purge the fumes back to the tank which can in some cases send excess fumes to the vent
check to make sure you have a good gas cap and the perge is working

2001 geo metro lsi, engine noise annoying, mostly on acceletation I just bought a 1996 Geo Metro 1 owner, Senior Lady for cheap price. I had just a little bit of gasoline. Since I realized the engine was...

You didn't describe the nature of the 'noise' which is probably why you haven't received a prior reply.
If it is missing, it might be injector problems but the injectors themselves are not loud enough to be heard over the other engine noise.
Spark plugs, ignition wiring, fuel filters cannot 'make noise.' Any of those can cause the car to run rough but not cause any specific noise unless it is related to the engine misfiring and in that case, it wouldn't just be a source of noise but also inadequate acceleration and a prominent jerking of the car at low RPMs. Carbon buildup is the likely cause although causing any engine to lug (drive in a higher gear at low speeds) can damage bearings in the engine, creating excessive bearing play and a knocking noise under some conditions. Also, a failed exhaust manifold gasket or associated pipes being cracked can really cause a racket.
Without us hearing the noise, it's kind of hard to diagnose it, but the above might give you some guidance.
