gas smell With A/C

[jcint]

Ok here is the situation and i'm not sure if any of this is related to the problem: My wife borrowed my 96 gt and left the lights on and drained the battery. The next day i started to smell gas when i put the Air conditioner on and gave it no thought but later that day i pulled over on the road to make a call and was on some grass (not sure if this caused any problems) and about 20 minutes later my car choked and shut off. It would not start after about 5 minutes of this i pulled the battery cable to see if i reset the computer if it would help, and it did. The car started right up, but i still smell gas when i put the A/C on. hmmmmm?

exhaust leak? do you have cats? does it smell different out the tailpipes?

I mean if there exhaust fumes at air inlet for the climate system it is going to pump them in the car. I would open the hood wile the car is ideling and just see if there is exhuast smell present. if there is track down the source.

I do smell alittle gas when i open up the hood but not much. could it be the fuel pump going bad?

well today no smell and my car runs great!. I checked the fuel lines and nothing, I think when the car battery went dead and she jumped the battery the computer must of gotten confused or something making it run rich,and when i reset the computer and gave it a day to adjust it fixed itself!
