Recently after I drive my car home from work or any other place on the Highway, The engind starts idling rough and eventually bogs down and dies as if the engine was choking. I try to rev the engine, but it only makes things worse and dies faster. I also get an odor of gas as well. When this happends It also sounds as if there is something plugging up the exhaust. if I stop and let it idle, the car runs really rough and bogs down and eventually the engine dies. It also won't start back up after a long while, maybe about 30 min. I have changed two O2 sensors, one upstream by the engine and one underneath the vehicle down stream. Any Ideas?
