Retorque the spark plugs, 25 ft/lb. If you lifted the fuel rail, you may have screwed up an o-ring.

RE-torque to 25...

Had that problem after I changed mine last year...I just tightened to good enough first round...got the smell...went to Harbor Freight and bought a torque wrench for about $ 12.99. Went through them all after that and no more smell...

Hope it works for ya!

Regards!

Only cylinder 5 needed it. Smell gone. Now onto a missfire. P0308 and P0316. Was told that P0308 is cylinder 8. Pulled boot and all good tried old coil and same codes.

Thoughts? Have not pulled plug yet; need to get a new one in hand first.
