well define tune?

did you buy new spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, clean the injectors with lucas, PCV valve, oil filter and change, air filter, fuel filter, clean out the throttle body and do a compression test?

if you did all of these things or most of them, check your TPS voltage, check if you running rich youll smell this on the exhaust all the time.

get a new fuel filter. clean your injectors with lucas, the miss could be fuel cut..

you might have a bad fuel pump or are running near empty. i suspect its a problem in the fuel system.
