if you smell gasoline, check your fuel line hose on the fuel filter which is probably torn due to the motor mounts. 240's are known to do this.

^^^unless there's a puddle of gas under your car, no. Check all your vacuum lines. My guess is that, or your running on three/less cylinders. Pull your plug wires and see if it changes anything.

changing your oil will not result in what you have. unless you used an engine flush and got all the build up off that was helping your engine keep compression.
