Yup if its white smoke that is pouring out, then it's the ecu.

its ur ecu bro...i had the same issue in my 94 sc3 and i did everything as far as 02 sensors spark plugs.. u name it then changed my ecu and bam there u go...trust me on this man...search my name i have a thread on it i never really answer it but im tellin u i fixed it with getting another ecu...wuts happenin is ur ecu is not reading right which is causing ur fuel injectors to dump more and more fuel in ur cylinders...and 1 of ur cylinders is not burning the fuel which is causing the awful strong fuel smell...i kno its a pain in the a** i been thru it...jus try the ecu...and lmk

Mine is doin that same. 3 of my cyl are way rich and the other three arent. Is it really the ECU?? white smoke smells like gas. car has rough idle and jerks randomly while driving.

Unplug the battery for a good 15 mins? Or have you tried that?

Well about 2 months ago i changed plugs/wires/cap/rotor.And after that the car started up and ran fine no problems what so ever.I drove it down the road and on the way back i got on it and it started breaking up a higher rpm.Then after about 15min it started missing and then it would clear up and miss again.So i haven't messed with it since.
