Default 95 Civic EX. Runs Rough, Power Dies When Changing Gears, Starts & Dies, Smells. Help!

I have a 95 Honda Civic EX 1.6L Coupe (Automatic). Lately it's been giving me some troubles and I can't seem to figure them out. Here's what the car has been doing:

It starts and then dies, normally it starts fine about the second/third time.

It smells like it's running rich or something, the fumes are very very strong.

Runs rough at times. When shifting into a higher gear the power dies out from about 1,000RPMS to 2,500RPMS and seems to regain power around 2,500-3,000.

It's been running rough for about a week now, right after I had my transmission flushed. It was flushed with OEM Honda fluids so I don't think it's that, plus the other issues wouldn't make sense. They thought it was the Cat but it checked out to be fine. The Resonator was just replaced as well but I highly doubt that has anything to do with it either. Oil was changed not too long ago with Valvoline Max. That's about it. Any suggestions would be great. I've cleaned the IAC, FIT, and Throttle Body. I also looked for a Vacuum Leak but didn't seem to find one. Thanks again.

Also I still have a problem with the Idle. In the beginning it's fine but then drops to about 400 and slowly drops and jumps back up. When it's that low the car has a slight vibration to it.
