Unless you are over heating probably not. A bad fan clutch will make a light roaring sound when you are driving because it is pulling a greater amount of air across the fan shroud but it is not likely to cause your engine to run rough. There are several things that can cause your engine to run rough but most likely it is something electrical. Bad spark plugs, bad wires, bad distributor cap or rotor. If it has been more than 100,000 miles since a major tune up all of these things are possible problems. If you have had a tune up more recently any one of them may have broken down and need replacement. That is where I would start looking. Good luck to you
