My 88 caravan recently started a rough idle and stalling when in gear if not on the gas pedal. Also vehicle rocks when in gear and a squeking noise from engine compartment (not a belt)

Replaced cap, rotor, wires and plugs runs good when parked stalls when in gear! engine has a slight rock while idling

3.0 V6 ------ gas smell from exhaust

Please help

Yes it is fuel injected. Checked the codes at the ignition today got one for the map sensor, replaced it but no help at all!
