Tight around the thoat

When I have the fan ON and stop at a red lite I'll get a strong smell of exhaust fumes coming out of the vents. When the truck is moving no fumes. This began after new spark plugs are put in. ( 1999 2.5 4 xlt ) You guys are the best

If you removed the upper intake when you replaced the plugs, be sure you put the PCV valve back in. The last time I changed the plugs on my 2.5 I forgot to do this and had a bad exhaust smell in the cab.
