[94SE-R_wi]

Heres the deal...I have a 93 SE-R...110k New plugs, wires, cap, rotor...
When i let my car warm up for about 30min then go to drive it likes to almost stall or sometimes stall. I will put it in reverse drive backwards and then when i put the clutch in and take my foot off the gas the RPMs go almost all the way down, and sometimes it stalls. It does the same thing when i come up to stop signs/light. Then when i get out of the car the exhaust smells like ass. It really olny does it when i let it warm up(once and a great while when i dont) but when i dont let it warm up its fine..and it idles at 1500RPM's...the car runs great other than that. I am going to replace my O2 sensor and my coolant temp sensor, and i have a fuel filter for it as well. DO you all think that will fix it or is there somthing else i need to do. Thanks

A smelly exhaust is usually a sign of a failing catalytic converter. If yours is creating a lot of back-pressure, it would cause those symptoms.

But see it doesnt smell all the time..i know its running rich...i am almost sure of it. You think the O2 sensor has anyhting to do with it? I dont have any CEL's but it could still not be working right and not throws any CELs. And i am getting horrible MPG as well.

Smelly exhaust is usually a sign of sulfur buildup in the catalytic converter, it's producing Sulfur Dioxide, which is whats in stink-bombs. Does it smell like rotten eggs?

There is at least one additive product I know of that claims to clean this out, but you're probably better of with a new catalytic converter. A failing O2 sensor may be the root cause of this, but it sounds like it has also hosed the converter.
