At 150000 miles the plugs start to fail under hard acceleration the higher compression blows out the spark before it ignites the fuel. Random cylinder misfire causes the check engine light to come on. change the plugs!

Sounds like who ever did the work on your car needs to go back and check the plug wires to see if they are going to the right plugs. and check the fuel filter, and fuel pump pressure. I would also check the Catalytic Converter to see if it is stopped up, if so replace it. Check the throttle position sensor with an ohm meter, if bad replace it. Check the oxygen sensors as well. I am running out of Ideas, so I hope this helps.

Stop using the car

You have serious cylinder misfires,so severe
you maybe ruining the exhaust converter,thus the smell

I won't write a book on all the causes or fixes,have a
repair shop diagnose

Check your o2 sensor, do you have any CEL (Check Engine Light coming on?

What engine do you have?
I have a 2002 Escape with 3.0 V6. It sounds like the ignition is getting damp and the engine is misfiring. If the CEL is flashing, you really shouldn't be driving it. Check the owners manual, but you could damage the engine.
Anyway, go to an Autozone or other parts store. Many will scan your engine for the DTC code for free. This code will give you a clue.
My code was for a for a cylinder misfire. I was close to 100,000 miles, so I replaced the plugs first, then the one coil. It was the coil.

you need to change you crank shaft positioning censor

the check engine flashing means the engine is misfiring and can cause catalyst damage ,have it looked at right away,lots of problems with ignition coils and ignition wires causing misfires

Can be many things, need to hook it up to scanner.. if u live close to AutoZone or Advance Auto they will check for code free.

this is most likly a 02 sencer but no the filter is inline and if you would like to find out the check engine light autozone or advance auto can read the syatem for you for free and tell you what is happing
