This car is run frequently and needs to be warmed up and hopefully it will stay running and when it rains its the worst and sometimes doesn't start and just stutters and shuts off. Now the exhaust smells bad and the check engine light is almost always on. I just don't know what the possible things that need to be fixed for this all to stop happening. Please tell me something.

If the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned to identify trouble codes. Most parts stores will do it for free.
