I have this problem. my car will start, but after the engine heats up to normal level, it starts to run really rough. then it will die out. after trying to restart it, it sometimes makes loud noises and back fires, and wont start back up unless you let it sit for about an hour. Also, I smell exhaust really bad. Why is this?

Check engine light is it On or has flashed?

When was the last major tune-up?

For a start take out the idle air adjusting unit and auxiliary air control valve and clean it, to include the EGR
