Thanks for your responses.

Okay, here is some more info:

When I first started the car today where my wife works, there was a strong raw fuel odor coming from the exhaust! It stays pretty strong for a minute or two then turns into the sulfur smell. The engine is definitely running with a miss. I would guess that a plug is fouled up by the excessive fuel.

After thinking about this for a little while, I figure I have a rich condition somehow. Could it be the fuel pressure regulator? Bad injector(s) sticking open? I also located the FPR and it seems I have to take the upper intake off to replace it? Or, is it a spark problem? Bad wires, ignition pack, or plugs(Bosch+4's)? I hate to bring my car to the dealer or to a mechanic so I am going to give a shot myself first. Any other suggestions? Am I on the right track?

Thanks again.
