I'd check the fuel line for holes, splits and bad connections. Then the carburettor, have any of the gaskets failed, is there any petrol leaking. Finally are any breather pipes blocked or disconnected.

2003 eclipse spyder gts 3.0L V-6. was driving fine, turned corner and it died.Now it wont start.Took throttle body off and smelled fuel. ticking noise when key is on.

Make sure battery has a full charge and connections all good. If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and check fuel injector pulse. If your missing everything I'd check rpm signal. Any applicable codes?

95 toyota 3.0 missing mid rpm ( 2500 to around 3000 )above ok and below ok most of the time. much better once you drive 30 miles

-Miss fire. Possibly due to low fuel pressure, bad injector pulse or plug wire/spark plug.
Check and replace.

Good Luck

The engine of my car smells like its leaking gas

Leaking petrol is a source of fire and if it is leaking and you have a slight bump there could be crispy critters in either your car or the one you hit. Besides that leaking fuel is a waste of money. Have an accredited service shop look at it as it will the best idea you will have . No --it is not safe to drive with a fuel smell coming from the car

95 Mercury Mystique seems to be misfiring around 2000 and 3000 rpm. When I push down on the gas, it jumps or pops when it revs up to 3000 rpm. And it also seems the gears do not catch once I pass 2000 rpm...

Could be the transmission.Make sure it is full of fluid. Hold your foot on the brake and give it some gas with the other foot. If you feel a miss, then it is a miss fire.
