need some more info but from what ur saying it sounds like a vacuum leak.. and ur fuel smell could very well be ur upstream o2 sensor.. But like i said need more info.. what engine which i assume is the 4.0 also what other symptoms to you notice?

its a 4.0 it runs fine for awile at idol then it runs bad usually after 5 mins . and when i first start the car it dosnt matter how long it idols for when i start to drive it in like 100 yards it runs like crap then it clears up . i got my computer scanned and my upstream o2 sensor is bad i thought that would just give me bad gas mialage could it do that too ?

yea, mine was happening at the point when our jeeps go from open loop (at warm up it runs rich) to closed loop (normal o2 operation)..
I had to extend the o2 wires since my new headers and down pipe made me move it further down the exhuast stream.. I think there was a delay between the wires or some crap.. idk
After i completed the exhuast i had the shop move my o2 sensor further up and i also put in a brand new one, problem solved..
ok enough of me... Any updates yet?
