i went out the other day and discovered my battery was dead. i then saw the lights had been turned and left on. OK not a problem i charged my battery the car starts and runs. however now when i remove my foot from the gas it shuts off while driving. it idles rough as well. it had the rough idle before this occurred. i also smell strong fuel oder from the exhaust. I've been told i have a bad coil pack however i do not know. gas millage is bad as well. this shutting off did not began till the battery died. I'm stumped. please help. i'd love to donate however i've been laid off since Oct of 08
