MasterSounds like intermittent misfire, don't have a clue how someone behind you can tell one side from another when they smell the fuel, the smell is likely unburned fuel effecting the cat conv, helps if is malfunctioning when testing for source of misfire, why would you do a complete and not replace old injectors and coils?
