Take the air cleaner off and open the throttle (have someone hold the gas pedal to the floor) and look down into the intake manifold, if you see gasoline, the Fuel Pressure Regulator may be leaking sometimes there are plastic fuel lines inside that can leak also. When either of these leak, the engine should run REAL BAD/RICH. Black smoke coming from tail pipe.

My Oldsmobile bravada 2002 smells like rotten eggs coming from the a.c. when I first turn it on

aircon units and the passages,vents etc can grow mould etc in the warmer climate due to the dampness left behind by the a/c working.you need to use the aircon more often.buildings can get legionaires ******* in their cooling towers,so its quite a problem.you could try a vehicle sachet of some nice smelling stuff to hang on yr inside mirror for a while,and see if a/c use will kill the bugs

Hesitating and knocking after replacing o2 sensor/ STRONG SMELL OF GAS FUMES

Strong smell of gasoline fumes means that there may be other issues involved than the O2 Sensor.
If it is enough of a smell that you believe gasoline is leaking in the engine compartment, I would not drive the car. The catalytic converter goes up to over a thousand degrees under the car after it is stopped. If vapors accumulate in that area. You could have a fire. NOT SAFE !!.
I would have the car towed to the nearest reliable service facility if you suspect a leak.
If you are working on the car yourself. Open the hood, pull the air cleaner and look for leaks in the fuel injection system. Along the fuel rails and where the injectors go into the manifold.
If it is just flooded then that could have something to do with the O2 Sensors. Please, use caution.
Hope this helps,
Mark
