o.k. guys having some issues with the car,

at wot it drops down like usual but its sluggish through all rpms, rpm's seem to rise a little faster it runs up to about 6000 and shifts still barks second easily but i get a loud bakfire then it starts all over in 2nd gear same thing
also when i first start it there's a strong exhaust smell
took it to autozone to have the codes read but it said it passed
checked wires, replaced plugs and in 2 seconds i'm gonna go check the fuel filter
any other ideas

Autozone's scanner will only read current codes, if your SES light is on. Pep Boys and some other stores (not advanced) can pull your historical codes even if yrou light is off, but they charge for it.
