Could be the emissions system not working properly. So could be the air pump not working properly. My friends have mentioned the smell of my car when they sit behind me. I'm not running cats. Take your shutter valve off or put a blockoff plate over the hole. Wire the valve open or remove it completely. No guarantees that is the problem, but that's what comes to mind.
