Stumbles / Stalls No 'Check Engine Light' Where do I look. 850 1994

I was on my way to work this morning driving my '94 850 (N/A). After going about 3 miles with no indication of a problem, I came to a stop and when I started up again, I gave it some gas to get going and the car stumbled and stalled. I restarted and the same thing happened again. Repeat a couple more times. I started it and sat for a few moments. I got out of the car to check the exhaust and the best I can say is that there was a strong smell which I can't describe accurately. Note: Restarts took more cranking than normal, but not more than two or three seconds.

By feeding it gas very easily, I was able to get moving again, so I headed back home. By the time I neared home, it appeared to be working better. ????

The "Check Engine Light" did not get set. Any ideas of what to look at? AMM? FPR?

Thanks in advance.

Dan
