USA car?
engine runs bad, gross misfiring, and stalls and idle speed all wrong>?
and of course all engines smell of unburned fuel when misfiring..so..
and gross loss of power. from engines. sure that is misfire too.
so lets work MISFIRE
fist what engine is this, sure the HONDA mistake,
its really an Isuzu engine. (abomination car) with USA axles. wow.
2.6L 120 hp (89 kW) I4
3.2L 175 hp (130 kW) V6

which engine, we cant fix engines blind. so...
so i drop to generic answsers...... no eng.
1: ever do the 60,000 mile tuneup,?? if not ?,FAIL she will..
2: are all 4 or 6 spark plugs all firing?into fresh spark plugs>?
3: is compression at or or better than 150PSI? on all cyl.
4: is it flooding?
5: is the check engine light on key on then goes out running?
if the CEL hangs up glowing running then scan the ECU.
scan it and get the DTC error codes.
use any scan tool , (OBD2) plugged into the 16pin DLC connector
near knees.
scan it and find what errors you have, i bet, P030x codes.
those are misfire, x = cylinder that is bad. 0= all.

there is a start.
fuel filter fresh. ? (if found easy near gas tank)

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 4+4, is missing, replaced spark plugs, coil packs,fuel pump.02 sensors,still missing.runs ruff in idle.smell gas when it starts,

Check for the computer codes. It can point to the cylinder that is miss firing. Could be a bad injector. Do a cylinder balance.

It is hard to tell from here, but that sounds very much like 2 plug wires are reversed.

Misses, exhast smell while running,took sensers off still runs and misses

Sounds like you may have a fouled plug or bad plug wire. It's not firing on that particular cylinder to combust the gas and that may be where you are smelling the exhaust smell.

Overheating, Miss Firing, and Running Rough

Smell the coolant. Is there any hint of gas smell? Also look at oil, any coffee coloring indicates problems.

White Smoke that smells liek fuel, but not overheating

you're probably burning coolant. headgasket, cracked or warped head, intake manifold or gasket, or cracked block are your sources. Take it to a care car service to have it checked. Whatever it is, it's hard to diagnose just by the exhaust color. I had white smoke coming from the exhaust of the family van, it was a cracked block. That can certainly cause a multi-misfire. So have an ASE certified mechanic look it over, it could get expensive!
