I might be able to help you a little. What year is your car? What is your
mileage? How is driveability, e.g., does it idle correctly? Does it accelerate
smoothly from idle? Does it bellow smoke and if so, when? Do you have a strong
smell of gas in the exaust?

The more information we have, the better.
