I've had this problem a couple of times with my 96 Ford Explorer.

Either:

1. The car needs a tune up

2. A sensor is out and the car needs a tune up

3. Something is wrong with idle . . . needs to be checked

The real answer is that you need to get to a mechanic asap . . .

When the idle was loose, the car would die, but when a tune up was needed it ran rough without fully dying . . .

Seems like the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is acting up. Among other things, the TPS would cause the Check Engine Light to light up. Check the code(s) stored on the self-diagnosatic system memory to be sure.
