I have changed my plugs, cap rotor, and wires.
The engine runs , but misses, and there is a heavy odor of gas from the tailpipes.
It was running great, all of a sudden this happens, after it sat for a few days
Any help is appreciated, Thanx

*Best Capt Kirk Impersonation* Need... more.... info!

Did the problems start after the mini tune up or did you change that stuff as a result of the problem? You checked out the TFI yet? How about the coil? If the problems started after the wires cap etc... are the cap and rotor the correct one? Are all the wires securely attatched? Have you disconnected and reconnect the snout on the dist? You checked plugs for fouling? Sorry for the silly questions but just looking for a place to begin.

The installed stuff was done after the car was running crappy.

Sirsureshot, if a coil is bad, the car wont run at all, right?
