If you were smelling fuel, then the engine was running rich. One possibility is that the spark plugs are fuel fouled. First check to see if the ignition system is still working by checking to see if there is a spark going to the plug. Then check to see what the fuel pressure is.
A real bad fuel smell probably means fuel or vapour is leaking from somewhere and it could be leaking out or leaking in and either could cause bad running.
A visual check of the fuel and vapour system from the filler neck to the engine is needed to ensure there is no leaks. If there are no external leaks it is likely the leak is internal, probably via a stuck injector or similar...
The problem is probably either a bad fuel pump or a bad coil/distributor. To test this, try to turn over the engine for 10 seconds then go back to the tail pipe and smell around it. If you smell gas it is probably a coil/distributor problem. If you do not smell gas it is most likely your fuel pump.
Sounds like a bad fuel pump, check if the smell comes under the rear wheels and also check for a loud humming noise when the key is turned to on. Those are signs of a bad fuel pump.
If it smells like rotten eggs, or coal gas, the catylitic converter needs replacing.If engine light comes on after the change 10 to 1 the 02 sensor went bad.
