Have the computer scanned at a nationally recognized parts store for trouble codes. Most will do it for free.

As far as the smell, it sounds like it's running rich.

Let me know what you find.

Hi:
don't worry! It happens to the best of us. My dad always said "there was only one perfect man on this earth, and he was crusified."

Take care and let us know if you have trouble in the future.

Mery Christmas,
Joe
