Exclamation Need some serious help with my 5.0

I have a 1992 Mustang 5.0l lx and it has been causing me some troubles just recently. I have just the right side axle so it has been sitting around for about a month and a half. Now that I start it up it has been misfiring at low rpm and is blowing a lot of excess smoke out of the exhaust that has a strange but strong smell. It does the misfiring off and on so one day it will misfire and another it wont but the excess smoke is constant, any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Pull codes and let us know what they are.

And this strong smell you talked about, would you say it has a "sweet" candy like smell to it ?

Crazy late is right lol. Your codes show a couple sensors out of range that may need replacing or adjustment for the TPS. But in the stored codes you have a 66 which is a lost signal from the MAF. That would definitely cause a problem with the way the car runs, if it'll run at all. Did you ever disconnect the MAF ? I'd clear codes, and run again to verify, because you also have a code 11 which is "System OK"

Now I'm not the sharpest knife here, so someone correct me if I'm not correct.

Here's a link to help with reading codes....
