Could be the idle control valve (icv) gunged up. Try searching with regards cleaning as there used to be loads about it, otherwise try the NASIOC- lol I've not been here for a while.
However, the fuel smell and puff of smoke are not usually a sign of an iffy icv!? Do you have it decatted and if so are you sure the 'rich' smell isn't just that?
Hope this helps?

Does sound like an air leak to me. Check the inlet manifold nuts are tight, another way to check is to spray carb/brake cleaner around where it joins the heads. If the revs rise then you know you have a leak in that area. Check all pipes, especially the one that connects to the turbo. They do split and crack.
