no check engin light. car starts out with a very low idle when started somtimes hafta hit the gas or it will just stall back out. once running in park will always stay running. but leaves off a bad odder that kinda smell like pb blaster? next a lot of the time while driving, car stalls out when i leave off the gas such as to turn at an intersection, or simply just costing thro town at about idle speed.

Might want to clean out the throttle body/plate/shaft, and also the IACV or idle speed device. Check the correct voltage of the TPS at Idle and WOT.
