Check the fuel pressure regulator as the diaphragm may be leaking fuel into the vacuum hose and thus running way too rich.
Well, a code 43 is telling you that you have multiple misfires. The code 27 is a problem with your fuel injectors. Given this and the fact that you smell gas, I would suspect a gas leak at the fuel rail or in the line. Interrupted fuel supply would certianly cause a misfire.
the heater core may be plugged up
You could have a leak in your gas lines somewhere. My guess is when you start your vehicle and the fuel pump is operational, the pressure is forcing gas through a small pinhole leak. Check any fuel lines that are rubber for cracks, wear, breaks and replace as needed.

Why does a car smell like something is burning?
This could be so many things. One scenario is oil dripping onto the exhaust somewhere, and burning off. Another possibility is the brake pad and rotors have worn to the point where there is metal on metal contact, and need to be replaced. A burning smell can come from clutches as well when the operator is shifting improperly, or drifting the clutch excessively. Rarely, the engine could be overheating from a coolant system failure. Also, this could be caused from spark plug wires or other hanging leads resting on the exhaust manifold, and thus melting.

Can a car smell like cigrette smoke if no one smoked in the car?
Yes, if someone who just finished a cigarette or smokes a lot rides in the car. The smell clings to someone and stays on their breath for a while after smoking. It can end up in the car even if nobody actually broke the no-smoking-in-the-car rule.
A bad PCV valve can cause the engine to smoke. The valve is easy to change in most engines to correct the problem.
