You need to be more specific... how isnt it running right? Hard start? Rough Idle? Hesitation? etc..

Is the Check Engine light on?

This potentially sounds like a clogged cat converter.

Usually when your o2 sensor is bad it starts to damage your Cat Conv little by little which can lead to that smell.
