I'd do a compression test first off. The white smoke could be coolant.

Have you been loosing coolant?
Where exactly is the needle on the tachometer, like well below 500?
Does the gas smell come from the exhaust or under the hood?

Have you been driving the car all along and something happened or is this the first time you've tried to run it after it's been sitting? ~rich

well when i first got it it over heated so i put in shop had it fixed up it drove fine. then i had no money so didnt wanna waste gas so didnt drive for around a week. and its idling WAy under 500 like barely above the 0 and it goes into 0 some while its idling its way rough. and the gas smell is coming from exaust im pretty sure.

Well, your answer makes a HUGE difference....My first concern would be a blown coolant seal. Have you checked your coolant level lately? I'm thinking it could be ignitor related if not a coolant problem. ~rich

hmm thats whats wierd when i took it to shop after it over heated we checked and put more coolant in it just like 3 weeks ago.....it was running fine. so i dont know how it could be that but he(ben the mechanic) said its the TAC or something lol idk just wishing i had some money to put it in shop but if i could figure out how to fix it ><
