I notice the exhaust smelled like carbon charcoal or some strange like how bad diesel would smell like.. Fuel injected car. During that time it has a rough idle and stumbling lightly as if it could cut off.

This symptom is not ask the time. It drives and takes off without problems is just at idle. Checked the plugs they look ok. Distributor coil works wondering if it's weak.
