recently i've been having some problems with my del sol. at low rpm's the car is sputtering, to me it feels and sounds like it's not getting enough fuel. I will be driving along fine and then i shift, or i have to go slower, so my rpms go down, and it like chokes, almost stalling out. If i downshift and get into higher rpm it doesn't happen. Also, there is a strong pure gas smell, which i can smell from inside my car the strongest. I figured it would have something to do with the fuel, so i changed the fuel filter, and that didn't help. Today i'm going to change the plug, wires, and air filter. i do regular oil chages (at least once every 3,000 miles), and up to this, i have had no other major mechical difficulties. Any feedback would be outstanding, i'm new to the whole fixing your whole car thing, so i could be going about this completely wrong. Thanks for all your help
