you should never need to change the fuel filter. i would only change it if you have a fuel pump go out. it is under the rear seat just for your information.

this can be due to broken o-rings of your fuel injectors. do not drive like this. fire hazard. laso check for crack on fuel lines.

possibly your O rings which isolates fuel injectors from engine block are getting old and letting gasoline go out. it is very dangerous since it can cause fire. do not drive.another cause is broken loose or cracked fuel lines. this is equally dangerous since it is under hood close to hot exhaust manifold.if smell is from exhaust manifold, which means not the smeel of gasoline but exhaust fumes, this can be caused by broken exhaust manifold or a crack on it or problematic exhaust manifold gasket.

The buttons in the driver`s door under the handle. You might have to take out the whole thing from the door (the thing that holds the buttons) and inspect the button placement, if its loosing its tension, if yes then,you will need to buy one from local junk yard if the place has any. Or if you don't like a used switch then you could order them at the dealer. Those things are usually over $50. --------- The button looses its tension and complete switch needs to be replaced.The switch panel that has both gas cap and trunk button.--------- This will help.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
This is common on cars specially when they lack power. The funny thing is that it is not an electrical problem but vacuum supply issue. For example, if the IACV (idle air control valve) is dirty or faulty the car may stall for the vacuum supply cuts off. If that's the case, go for IACV replacement and I believe you'll be good.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Your gear shift is broken.

I think so if you don't have it in parking or neutral

check for a bad hub bearing play in the bearing will cause a misalignment with the wheel speed sensor...check for a broken tone ring on the cv shaft....an have codes pulled to see if u have lost wheel speed sensor signal..move service stations can do this at a reasonable cost.... as for it being major it is not the brakes will still function but ur antilock brakes wont work

EGR vlave you will have to pull, clean out the carbon chunks and replace with a new EGR valve gasket. check sparkplugs and wires. they may be bad. and make sure coils are ok. good-day !
