Which '00 v8 magnum ? There was a 5.9 and a 4.7. If it's the 5.9, I'd suspect the coil; but I'd think that might throw a misfire code. Do you know how to pull the codes ? Can you clarify what you mean by "builds up" and let us know what the smell is ?

Your welcome. You can use a vacuum gauge to check the cat - probably about 17-22 at idle; should be 3-5" higher at 2500-3000 rpm. If it doesn't go up like that, probably a restricted cat. If under 80,000 miles I think would still be covered by federal emissions warranty.
