Check your engine Sir. Does it consumes too much fuel? Probably your engine (or carb) ejects too much gas causing unburnt fuel, thus creating or leaving a somewhat gas smell along your exhaust pipes.

Sir can this be solved if I change to an electronic igniter/Carb?
what can I do to remedy this issue?
TIA sir

If your existing ignition system works properly, then the Electronic igniter won't do as much as the cause of problem still exist. I suggest you bring your car to a Carb specialist and let him see if the carb is still suitable for an overhaul or replacement. Usually, it just needs cleaning and replacement of several parts such as gaskets, jets, floater valve, etc. The technician should also make sure that the floater is calibrated / leveled properly to eliminate fuel starvation or excessive fuel supply. Make sure also that all your vacuum lines within the carb is working properly.

I really wasn't really planning on replacing her as we've been thru a lot ups and downs, Bine-baby ko pa nga eh, and truly enjoyed her performance. But my brother kept on insisting that its about time to upgrade, and since he'll be the one to assist on the financials, I agreed. Yes its an upgrade, but all I can say is that, its still worth, in owning an FX! Swerte nga nung matanda na nakabile, para daw kotse kung manakbo, napaka swabe daw

I already bought a vios j, bro. although yung tamaraw fx ay nandito pa sa akin, awaiting for my sister to pick it up para ibenta. like you, I will also miss the tamaraw fx, esp. it's yung tanaw na tanaw mo lahat lalo na pag paatras ka he he he.

For Toyota fx with 5k engine.
Pls see the test results of a '96 fx on 'ito ang nuvitron thread' and see how to enhance the fx. however, we will not be answering your technical queries about the test. Address all questions to: Dr. Edgar N. Quiros, VRTL, College of Engineering, UP, Dilliman, QC.
