Check your maf/map sensor. Could also be your starter on its way out

What is causing my 97 mazda pickup to idle rough then die?

2 things could be happening. One, the maf, or map sensore is bad. If there is a check engine light on, have it checked out. Second, it could be the throtle position sensor. Or just crappy gas. Rule the gas out first before changeing sensores.

Running rough, tapping noise, dies when idling

if you are drawing white smoke then its either the inlet manifold gasket failed or a head gasket ,best suggestion i can make is to trade it in quick before you spend lots of cash .this coil pack and additive will not work its drawing water into the pistons from somewhere and requires a complete strip down of the top assembly to cure it ,no amount of wonder cures will help here

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.
