Yay another problem..

My luck can't get better I swear. This morning my car wouldn't start. It started like it would run but the minute i turned the key back it wouldn't turn on. after holding the key for 8 seconds my battery died. seriously double-U Tee Efff. So I jump started it and got it going and I smelt gas in my car and around my car on the outside. I figured it was from cranking it but later today it smelt of gas after i parked it. and it STILL hesitates when the rpm's are below 1300. Any ideas? Wont start cold. and smell of gas. hesitation?

coolant temp sensor might have gone bad.

Alright here's how this worked... I pull my plugs but they all looked "ok" but they were running SUPER hot. so i was like hell I'm going to go get some nice plugs... I bought 6 NGK Iridium plugs for 44.90 from HOMOzone. autogapped. Popped em in. Car runs PERFECT. No More Problems. WOOO BABY!

My car has also been a bit hesistant random misfiry type after my valve cover/plentum gasket replacement...and I've also noticed my temp gauge sometimes going up but it goes right back down (CTS is new) so I'm guessing it has to do with getting air out but as for dying I'm getting same prob...my sparkplugs are about 6 months old NGK V-Power...they have 5k-6k miles on em is that bad?
