Hi. You can't have fuel coming out of ignition coils but you could have a leaking fuel rail or injector that may be spraying in the engine compartment. This can be dangerous and should be looked at by a professional. Here is a link to find a shop near you. https://repairpal.com/repair-shops Alex

Thanks Alex, Just a quick question, what are some possible caused for that? If the fuel injector is clogged, can it be cleaned? I read that some had to be replaced. I'm looking at buying this car, but I can't afford $600+ to replace the fuel injector. After researching, These cars appear to be money pits. I need something reliable. Thank you for your time.
