cars not running right, feels like a misfire. opinions?

[notsonic]

so im driving around all this morning with absolutely no problems. (aside from the valve tap ive been experiencing for a while now.)

i go to get in it just now (around 10:30pm) and the thing is just not running right. theres a heavy smell like its running rich or incomplete combustion or something, the car is shaking/rumbling, the idle is a little high (around 1k instead of 8/900), it feels a lot like a misfire. the problem persists throughout all rpms.

i checked my wires and coils, everything seemed ok. i just replaced them less than 10,000 miles ago. oil level checks out.

what would just randomly cause this to happen?

i guess ill have to get in there tomorrow and start pulling plugs.

smells rich.

not getting any codes.

i disconnected the o2s, and it ran the same.

but i noticed fuel shooting out of the tail pipes.

i think im going to take it to a shop.

last thing i need is rain getting in the connections and causing more problems. (that would be my luck)
