I recently bought a '95 Eagle Talon ESi w/ the 420A engine, but I've noticed a few issues, which are fairly annoying; I've searched the forums, but haven't really found the answer I'm looking for.

My first issue is the car stalling within the first few minutes of driving. It seems to happen mostly when it's cold, but it's not exclusive. What could be causing it?

The other issue I have is what i imagine to be a fuel leak. When driving you can smell guess coming from the car. When the car has been parked, and you go back to it, the interior smells terribly of gas. Where would the fuel be leaking from to cause this?
