Misfire, smells like fuel, CEL blinking!
Sure it all goes together when fuel is being passed into the exhaust unburnt.
Have you thought about replacing the coil and checking the coil connector?
Good luck.

Good luck.

Ok, the last cylinder on the driver side.
It is a secondary side failure from the coil tower, plug wire or the plug.
Only other possibility is injector failure or cylinder mechanical fault, blown head gasket.
Your missing it some where.
Good luck.

Oh my!.
How would you think that could select one cylinder out of 6 total?
Test for spark, at least to get some movement on the issue..
Good luck.
