There are code readers for pre-96 vehicles, possibly even get free scan at auto parts store. My guess is if you smell gas, then it's running rich. It could be sensor related like O2 sensor/MAP sensor/MAF sensor along those lines. Or mechanical, like a fuel pressure regulator or loose injectors...
Hmm, I had a similar problem with my Ranger. It had an untraceable electrical problem, and we sold it for scrap. Symptoms include backfiring, severe loss of RPM before backfiring, dying unexpectedly, just about everything it shouldn't do. How bad is the sputter? Does it sputter, or does it sound like a large dying animal?
In the event of the lights being left on and the battery dying, the computer "forgets" where to idle. The solution is to hold the gas down while starting the truck and ease off over the period of thirty to sixty seconds. Otherwise a faulty idle air control motor, a throttle position sensor, or clogged fuel filter could cause it to not idle.
