My car swings and smell fuel, when it starts it idles low as if it want to shut off. It misses when I try to accelerate.

Hello,

It sounds like you have an ignition coil that is going out. I would replace the coil and all of the spark plugs, here is a guide to get you started.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
