Two wild guesses: Maybe O2 sensor? Coolant temperature sensor?

Where are you smelling the fuel at? Does it smell inside the car or at the exhaust?

ok.. one more thing now... this may or may not be related to the same thing.. The car when it reaches a certain temp but before being fully warmed up will fluctuate from about 1500 rpm to 2200 rpm.. up down up down up down.. you get the idea.. what the heck could that be..?

TPS out of adjustment. Mine did that with the car at operating temp. I rigged that little light thing and now it idels smooth as silk. Before I adjusted the TPS when the car would get to temp and had the AC on the car would bounce from 500 rpm like going to turn off to 1k havent run it again after adjusting the tps but I hope it works it was way off!
