Say, I recently bought a 1995 deville concourse with the 4.9 engine. The service engine light on the dash was on when I bought it. A couple days later, I got an engine flush, oil changed to synthetic and a fuel system cleaning at a locally trusted Jiffy Lube. After the service, the service
engine light is still on. Besides from that, I am extremely concerned... When I start my
car, awful fumes enter the inside of the car that I can't see, but damn sure can smell. After about five to ten minutes of driving, the strong odor goes away or maybe becomes very subtle. When I am driving and come to a stop, waiting for a traffic light, the smell does not again consume the inside like when I first start the car. If I shop at a grocery store for a few minutes, re-enter the car and start it, no smell (or maybe a constant smell that isn't as powerful or easy to detect). This leak or whatever my car has is not consistent but does have the pattern I described. What gives? Please help!
