What type of fumes are they exhaust or oil burning.
Exhaust ..Idle engine and put glove on hand put hand over the tail pipe and if engine stops in 20 seconds then the exhaust is good if it keeps running then its the exhaust is your problem..
2 if ex ok then its due to the breather pipe on the engine and it should go back into the inlet manifold to be reburnt but if its not fitted or rubber hose split or broken then thats what you can smell.
So check out under the bonnet and see if you can smell or see any smokey fumes or sucking noise.
Can you see smoke when you start engine.
Let me know ASAP Ron

* Stop using car!
* Check for breaks or cracks in exhaust pipe system.
* Check for cracks, rust holes in fire wall. (the wall between you and the engine.
* Fumes from engine exhaust has toxins and carbon monoxide.
* Explosive fumes can result from a over rich mixture.
* Cracks in exhaust affects the back pressure to engine.
* Crack in exhaust can direct hot fumes and may start fire when parked over rubbish or grass.
* Fumes can cause black out to passengers and driver.

Constant misfire and smell of fuel fumes

Test compression and if good, replace the plugs, cap rotor and wires. If that does not resolve it. Take it to a shop.

Volvo s70 1999 cuts off while driving and then you can smell fumes

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems ca cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms

Hello I own a 2004 Volvo and have fume smells

Most likely the catalytic converter temporary plugged and or the fresh air door jammed and allowed smell from the engine compartment came it. The catalytic converter can come loose and going around a turn it may plug it temporary and blow out the exhaust gaskets and cause the smell.
