Engine Missing at idle

Hello All

I own a 91 Toyota Tercel. It misses at start and there is an odor of rich exhaust and fuel. It disipates after a few minutes. Once the engine warms up, it stops missing. I have done some recent work on the car:
1. 02 sensor
2. New Plugs/Rotor/Cap
3. Fuel Filter
5. Coolant Flush
4. Oil Change
5 Air/PCV Filters
6. Seafoamed upper intake
7. New Clutch/ New Mater/Slave cylinders
8. Shocks/Struts/ 1" lowering springs
9. Exhaust Header intake and oulet gaskets
10. New brake: discs/pads-drums/shoes & wheel cylinders
I am thinking a bad injector or fuel leak. There is also a strong odor of feul in the cabin if I fill the tank with the windows up. it disipates quickly as well. Any one experience similar situations with these cars. I was reading that if a vent in the throttle body clogs up on these engines it can cause a lean situation as well?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check your fuel pump. If you are smelling gas inside, it may be that or a gasket or one of the hoses going to the tank.
