Find the O2 sensor wire in the harness and reconnect it. The O2 sensor is used at light load to correct the mixture.

Perform a FULL tuneup. Plugs, wires, fluids, filters. Adjust the TPS. Make sure the idle is within factory specs.

This assumes the car hasn't been hacked up. If emissions equipment is missing, then the situation is a little different.

if you took off all emissions, than its going to smell like its running rich, even moreso if you replaced the stock exhaust with a free flowing type
