Post subject:  d16y8 slow death??

Well its been around 1 yr that my car has been getting a cel... the cel is "cylinder 3 misfire or random misfire" this all happend after the EXTREME port & polish and the 3 angle valve job that I had done to the car... well car is actually running fine. The cel turns on for about 2 weeks then turns off for another 2 weeks. Well Since the weather is so nice outside these past few days I have been driving around with my windows down, and I noticed that everytime my CeL turns on I get a stench of gas.... just pure gasoline... this only happens when the cel turns on, after its on or turns off its fine.

Just wondering if anybody might help.

Gratcies
