    "What's wrong with my Ford?" IT'S A FORD! Sorry, couldn't resist.
    The smell is a converter that's being poisoned by too much fuel, or the wrong fuel. Injector cleaner might help, but it sounds too far along for that. The converter is probably toast, and the injectors need cleaning. There is likely a sensor somewhere that is screwed up, you'll have to check the codes for that.
