if you can smell gas from inside, thats a bad thing. might wanna check your fuel lines first.

since your ECU code is Fuel Supply System that could be it.

umm sounds like what the first guy said but to check you might wanna look under your car to see if there is gas on the ground and if so then find the leak and replace the line or maby even patch it

It shouldnt come close to stalling when turning the steering wheel. How many miles you got on it?

You should definately check your injector seals. There has been more than one Honda in my family that those have worn out on. The outsides of the injectors may be slightly discolored, or if the injector itself looks wet at all.This can be noticed if you run your A/C system on fresh instead of recirculate. These seals just wear out over time. Just my $.02.

Sounds like my car before I got it all tuned. Do you have aftermarket cams?

No, it is NOT good. Your car is struggling to idle. Get it fixed.

sounds to me like a lack of fuel pressure. When you turn the wheel, a load is placed on the engine requiring more gas. (load from power steering pump) You probably have a leak in the fuel system somehwere, and that is what is causing both the drop in rpm and smell. Does the car accelerate like it usually does as well?
