The car idles a little rough and every now and then the check engine light comes on and sometimes there is a smell of gas can anyone tell me what could be causing this and how to fix or check it? We do not have money to take it to a dealer or shop - we had it two places already and they both say something totally different with a price of 600-2000. Times are to tough to afford that. Please help!
