Loses power problems

Jerks and power loss

Mazda 323 1996  280000 miles
Hi, I own a Mazda 323 glx 1.6 96 and occasionally when driving, the car jerks or loses power. A valve was loose, I replaced it, but the problem persists. Even more, the exhaust emissions have a really strong smell, and I do not know what might be wrong. If anyone knows about these failures, please let me know. Thank you.

I noticed that the problem appears only when the fuel level is lower than normal. When it is over half of the tank, there is no failure. I was told the valve seals are the ones that are causing the problem.
