Exhaust Smell
Shiras42:
First post here. Have a 91 Zuke with only minor mods. Mostly stock vehicle with just a small lift and that's about it. Of course then it is fuel injected and when I driving and let off the gas (to turn, shift or whatever) I get a strong exhaust smell. It only happens when I do let off the gas. Any suggestions on the cause and a fix?
fordem:
At the risk of being misunderstood - let me be the one to ask - what exactly is a 91 Zuke?
Is it a Swift? a Samurai? a Vitara? a Sidekick? 2 door? 4 door? convertible? hard top?
Possible causes will vary with the model, and body style and range from the exhaust being defective, or possibly incorrectly routed, to having the rear windows (on a soft top) set incorrectly.
Oh - welcome!!

Good followup Fordem... It'll be interesting to see a respond on the vehicle. I'm betting it's a Samurai with an exhaust that goes straight out the back. :)

It's a samurai soft top and my first thought was as you kind of stated it might be with the exhaust sucking back in. But I tried rerouting the exhaust out the side and it made no difference. Also I have a hard top that I put on in the winter and it makes no difference. I still get the smell. To be more clear it's not even like a pure exhaust smell. I can't even explain it for sure, but it's the worst when I have been cruising along and then either need to shift or just let off the gas for any reason.
Thanks!

It almost sounds more like engine smells and a small exhaust leak .
