   When was your fuel filter last changed as it may be blocked.

   My suggestion to you is if you don`t know when it was last serviced then service it,then go from there,check also when the cambelt was last done too.

   An injector/s has either given up or they could be blocked, if they are blocked the injectors cannot squirt at a the required pressure/amount, and will stink of fuel,
   The fuel filter is infront of the N/S/R wheel next to the sill,
