Car has no air mass meter, it has a flow meter which is pretty dependable, Does it start and run OK when warm? have you checked the OVP fuse, did the spark plugs have a large amount of deposits such as an oily deposit or a white/grey or yellow fluffy deposit? What plugs were in it and what did you put in it now?
PS describe the "funny" smell.
PPS if you are adept at checking the FPR, another thing to try would be to do a jumper wire at the FPR socket to hardwire the fuel pump to the battery, then see if the problem goes away. My first inclination would be that the engine needs valve stem seals, how many miles are on the car? OH and one basic question, is this a 2.3 or 2.6??
ONe last thing, since you are in souther Illinois, did you win the Megamillions last night and if so I demand 2 million dollars for my service so far :-)
