You might have a plugged or burned catalytic converter.
CO2 does not have an odor. My guess is leaking coolant or oil.

I was thinking the same, no smell. May be unburned fuel, may just need a tune up, new spark plugs & wires, fuel injectors cleaned, air-filter, PCV, ect.

Also sounds like has a exhaust leak, so take it too a muffler shop to get that fixed.
hi just wanted to thank everybody for the answers they give...yeah i think it is maybe the header from the exhaust system that has a leak, i don't have a fuel or oil leak it has new spark plugs in it and the carburator has full been cleaned out...
think i found the problem there was oil where the spark plugs are and al the bolts were as good as loose so yeah i did get a quick ride with it and i pulled full trottle and dind't smell the brned or gas smel inside that i had i hope it is fixed now but to be safe i'm going to go on a mitsubishi garage to check the car because you never what to previous owner did right....thnx to you all
