Yes, i changed the plugs, they looked just old. Like a heated look to them. a couple were wet looking but I doubt coolant would stay on the plugs. the smell under the hood i believe is the same as what comes out the back. I don't know if thats the EGR or the exhaust backing up. I might just end up taking the car somewhere. I don't want to. cause i like working on them. But i'm sure you know, it's hard to diagnose when you weren't there when it broke.

sounds like you probably set your timing to ATDC instead of BTDC

Resolution, thank GOD!

So i went today and paid the 100 dollars for someone to install my X pipe. I was gonna do it myself but I had a unfortunate accident last time with the ratchet and my head. (the ratchet's harder) So i brought it and the car is an entirely new beast. That was my problem all along. Car still runs warm but i just drained the engine flush out the cooling system and put in 50/50 anti freeze since it is summer in Louisiana. I'll throw up another video of the results incase anyone else ever has the same problem.
