Have you looked at the pcm? My parents had a 95 lumina they bought in 1999, and one day it would'n stay running, similar to your problem. It turns out the pcm, which was located on the passenger fender well, corroded and cracked open, and corroded inside, so we replaced it with one from a 96 grand prix, and it worked perfect. Maybe you have a similar problem?

How often does it blow that fuse? If you replaced it, would the car start and run fine, then blow it and not work?

The black thing you're smelling gas from is probably your fuel pressure regulator. That might also be causing your problem.

Oh, my bad on the "back" thing. I was on my phone when I replied last night, and read it wrong.

If you're smelling gas from the back, it could be a line leaking. Have you noticed any leaks in the back? You should also replace the fuel filter, if it hasn't been done. Also, does the fuel pump "prime" when you turn the key to "on"? Does it hum loud, or is it cuting in and out?

I don't know what the emis fuse does..someone else here should be able to help with that.

Glad to help out, or at least try to.

Was it motor oil in the intake? I don't know if that is due to your problem or not.

Do you know if the alternator is working okay? Is the battery holding its charge?
