coilpack, thats if it sounds like it's firing on 2 cylinders.
Also check the maf 1st by disconnecting it, it's the 3plug connector near the airbox.

pulled maf plug off and a def change in the engine so i am guessing its not that.
only thing is to do is change the coil pack...would that make it use loads of fuel then?

Did you drive it with maf disconnected? Try it driving without it connected
Reason your smelling fuel is because of the misfire.
