The car smells like it is running rich, and idle is eradict so i think the plugs might be bad. I had to have the fuel pump replaced so it may have fouled the plugs. The amount of exhaust that is released out the back is very small, and anywhere near the front of the car smells like gas fumes and exhaust fumes.

Try taking out the plugs and clean it, then gap to 0.054 inch for V6 or 0.050 inch for I4 "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles

I was thinking maybe with the cold weather coming, maybe teh exhaust smell just became more noticeable- or that my true duals and lack of cats/precats would be acting up and causing the smell. I did have the plugs pulled a little while ago, maybe I fudged something up. 2006 Pontiac G6 3900SFI GTP Coupe CAI, Stainless Cat Back, Vector Tune, Strut Brace, Eibach Pro Kit, Custom Made Projector Headlights, 4300K, 20% Tint Former Owner- 2000 "Stryped" CSVT CEG Dragon Run- Oct 13-15
