Ok again. I have changed plugs and wires. It had problems prior. Now it still has a slight miss in it with the exhaust smell. I know it`s fueling but I just don`t know where to start. Would it be an air flow control valve, is it just a simple fuel system cleaning, or is it a vacum hose going bad?

Do you have a check engine light on?

Engine running rough or misfiring can be cause by the following:
