Probably dirt in the idle channels of the carb. Find the carb mixture adjustment screw, or screws. Carefully( gently) screw it in and count the number of turns required for it to seat. (probably about 2 to 2 1/2 turns). Screw it out completely and blast the hole with "CarbClean". Refit the adjustment screw and set it the same number of turns out. If you see the adjustment screw has an O ring seal around it, smear a small amount of grease on the O ring before refitting it and screw it back carefully to ensure you do not damage the O ring in the process.

SOURCE: running rough, wont idle, bad gas smell

Possible injector failure. locate by disconnecting injectors one at a time. The one that makes no change is the questionable. Status of spark plugs need chkg also. pull the plugs an the one that looks washed is questionable good luck

SOURCE: rough idle

Barring any mechanical issues you most likely have a failed injector.

Car idles rough in park also runs rough in overdrive

Sometimes a rough idle like that is a fuel filter. As you've already done the plugs and wires the fuel filter would be my next bet.

Rough idle, cruise control also stopped working

Sounds like you could have gotten some water in your fuel tank from that fill up. Go to a autoparts store and get a product to put in the tank that takes care of water in fuel. Use it when you fill the tank up a few times after and hopefully it goes away. Whenever you can't sustain power in the engine or it runs rough then your cruise control will constantly be shut off because the engine doesn't have the power to keep the speed up and should go away once your engine is running clean again.

Good Luck
