Check for a fuel or an exhaust leak. Open the hood, start the engine (cold), listen and smell for the exhaust leak. You can use a foot spray, the yet is turns into a powder to check for fuel leaks. Clean and dry any suspected fuel leak areas, spray, let dry for a couple of minutes. Start the engine and look for any possible leaks. Check the fuel injectors, filter, etc.
