Question Stumbling symptoms:

Symptoms:

1. Stumbling (started small and getting worst)
2. Car feels like it's on 7 cylinders
3. I can smell gas after I get off the car
4. The warmer it gets, the more it stumbles
5. Blinking "Service Engine Soon" light sometimes comes on (mostly under a bit of load and goes away when idling).
6. Code P0300 - Engine misfire
7. Weird *tick, tick, tick* coming from driver side (sounds like spark)
8. Sometimes I can smell my catalytic converter like a new car (fart like smell).

Diagnosis?

Re: Stumbling symptoms:

do you have a burnt plug wire?
plug boot fell of the spark plug?
plug worked its way out of the cylinder head?

I'll check on that... the sound is exactly the sound of a spark so I'm guessing that should be it...
