Could be dirty fuel filters or a bad ground. You could also have a vaccuum leak. What have you checked so far?

The issue came up a ton of times even in the old forum (AF) never use fuel injector cleaner on oru cars or older cars, cause they just clean up the shit on yoru fuel lines and clogs your fuel injectors. The dude who works on the injector flush system said many ppl who come in, did it and that (adding the injector cleaner) just messed it up for worse.

1. Check your EGR valve
2. Check your air filter
3. Check your timing and other drive belts
4. Leaking head gasket

worst case senario is that your Camshaft lobes would be fucked up.

I seriously think that my fuel injectors are leaking cuz i can smell the gas, would that cause it to act up like that??? its going to a mech shop to get the fuel system flushed, but if its the injectors i could just replace that......

well,
i have diff idea for your problem.
do you use AC? if you do make sure it is full.
i had simular problem on mine. It would run when i press the pedal but it won't idle. at the end my AC compressor went belly up, got locked up. so i took knife and cut the belt out. improved performance a lot. so know i am thinking putting a new one back and make it AC in my car or take it off and make my front 50lp lighter.
turn off ac and see if it helps with idle. if not that it is your fuel problem. may be you need a new airfilter.
