Rough idle at startup S70

You should not start your car for short periods. The catalytic converter does not have time to heat up. The smell you’re picking up is probably unburned fuel fuming out the exhaust pipe. This could have damaged the cat. For now just let your car warm up properly and if you ever feel a loss of power the first thing to check is the cat.
