Car Idling bad, Sputtering.
Well my car has been doing this recently, idling lower than usual, and sounding like it has a cam, with a lot of gas smell coming from the exhaust. I also just changed the plugs,and at WOT it misfires, with the check gauges light flashing as I'm WOT. Anybody have any ideas about these problems? I just replaced the O2's about 10k miles ago. Also, at part throttle my car will stutter, like its not getting gas, then it will pick up magically and run fine. Any ideas on what these probelms are?

Coolant temp sender is on drivers side? front? and I made sure all my plug wires wre seated. I know the misfire at WOT is a plug with a cracked electrode, because it didn't do that before I changed the plugs. I just would like to find out the sputtering at idle, and the stutter at part throttle. I cleaned my MAF, and that helped the sputter somewhat, but it still does it.
