Question
my1990 gmc 350 4x4 1500 turns over but wont start a strong gas smell and when i can get it started it seems to be pouring gas in car and running fast like the choke is stuck  

Answer
Hello Andy,
The throttle body has some gaskets and seals, and some seals under the injectors, any of which could leak and do just that.
Not at all hard to repair.
Take the air cleaner off, and look in the throttle body as someone turns the key to RUN...not start.
The fuel pump should run for three seconds, and you should be able to see where it is leaking.
