I was leaving somewhere yesterday and someone said that I had problems with my carberator. They smelled gas coming out of my exhaust. I could tell that they had ran into this before. The only problem was that I don't have a carberator. I have a 2005 GMC Yukon 5.3. As I was driving, it didn't feel right. It shuttered some and had a some missing. Does anyone have any idea what this might be?

I have never experienced it before but i know that a fuel injector can get stuck open and dump fuel causing the exhaust to smell like raw fuel.

Tune up, bad intermittent coil, injector as stated above but not very common to my knowledge. Bad sensor or just a dirty one giving improper signals. Check engine light coming on at all? If so have the codes pulled.

shutter would lead me to think your cats are starting to go bad. would explain the hesitation and gas smell.
