Changed iac,maf,tps,fuel pressure

work(mufflers) and ignition module. Got the
car to stop stalling on start and runs great
besides odd idle and foul smell on heavy

I do have an aftermarket air intake came with the car when I bought it 2 years ago have never oiled it just changed the cone filter on it about a year ago when I did the first maf sensor. I have gone through 2 maf sensors in the last year the second one about a month ago when I changed the iac , tps, and crank sensor. Also cleaned the throttle body while I was at it but didnt check any of the connections so ill take a tomorrow and get a new gas cap. As far as vacuum leaks I haven't been able to find one under the hood any of the times ive checked but im going to put a stock air filter on it and ill get back with the results. Thanks for the answers guy much appreciated!
