My 1998 dodge dakota has a rough idle and bucks on acceleration, the check engine light doesn't come on, fuel pump is not even a year old, i was told possible EGR valve failure but my truck doesnt have a EGR valve, also when idling i get an acurate smell from the exhaust.

I always check for codes, just habit, I guess. How long since a tune-up? Use a gage and check fuel pressure, Also, the gage may show if there is a pressure leak, somewhere.
