Message	smelling fuely means that you're missing spark, not fuel. one cylinder is not firing. do a balance test to find which cylinder, then check your connection, test your coil pack, and test for current to the coil pack. a balance test involves pulling each coil pack plug one at a time while the car is running, and seeing which ones change the way the car runs. the one that doesn't affect sound or idle speed is the one that is not firing. do your tests on that one.
