Is there a check engine light ???
Theres a ton of things that can cause it a cel might narrow it down some

I'd get a can of seafoam and run that thru the intake first and see if that cleans things up might be a dirty IAC

will a bad iac cause it to overload on gas. cause when its started it has a strong smell of gas?

Idle air control can cause it to run rich
