When I run the A/C on my S-90, the air smells sour.  Any ideas what's
causing it or how to fix the problem?

When ou use the air and park the car, does water drip out the bottom
somehwere? If not, then the drain hose under the evaporator in teh car
is clogged. Otherwise there is a growth of some sort in the system
(like algae, fungus, etc.) from teh humidity that is causing it. This
has been recently discussed.
Start with the thread:
algae growth in climate control system
and maybe do a Google in teh group for related topics.
