Had mechanic do a complete tune up.
Now there is gasoline dripping from exhaust pipe,
He thinks it needs new computer because his diagnostic machine doesn't
pick up any problems.
Now what? Can you suggest any other things it could be?

The mechanic. Car goes in for service, comes out worse. Take it to
someplace reputable.

I cant really believe that... you say there's a strong smell of fuel. That
would CERTAINLY show at the O2 sensors.


Like joe said.. your mech is a little slow. If he had anything on the ball
he would, for instance, disconnect the MAF to see if it set a code.

Or disconnect the O2's for that matter.

Did he check Fuel Pressure Regulator?

out fine.
P.S.Slow...yeah he has had it for four days...turtle could've done it
faster.
